Step 3
- Firstly, using the template cut out the shapes that make up the thistle from green card and glitter card.
- Then, cut 4 small slits or triangles on either side of the ‘rounded’ part of the thistle.
- Stick one end of the green wool to the back and begin threading the wool between the slits to create a crisscross effect. Stick the remaining end to the back of the thistle.
- Hole punch 5 holes at the top.
- Then thread and loop lengths of purple yarn though the holes. You can trim the purple yarn after threading to create a neater finish.
- Lastly stick the sections together using glue.
