I used a large wool sewing needle to enlarge the pre-punched holes either end of the paper strips as they were little more than pin pricks before assembling the baubles following the tutorial It states at the end of the tutorial that 'unfolding' the baubles takes a little practice.

Smile and Wave: Dress Up Felt Board Tutorial and Template. The fancy new Red Velvet shop opened way back at the end of October (feels like ages ago) and I was deemed the Children's Section Stylist. I really wanted Elsie and Emma to make me a badge with my title but they had dresses to hang and cupcakes to make so I had to settle on a borrowed staple gun. I wanted part of the children's section to include something interactive that kids could play with while their mamas and their papas shopped.
I remembered the felt boards my Sunday School teachers utilized to teach stories from the Bible and paired that concept with paper dolls for a kid-friendly, dress shop-themed activity. I was also inspired by Olivia Mew's felt dress miniatures. More than a few people have asked how to make their own felt board so I've listed my supplies and described the easy process of putting it together. You'll Need: * 2 pieces of 3/4"x2'x2' plywood (similar to this)

A couple of weeks ago I was happy to discover an email in my inbox from a reader named Fabiola, requesting a tutorial for a collar like this one: I’m not sure where she got this image, but to me it looks like a collar on a dress Alexa Chung would wear.
I swear I saw a photoshoot of her wearing a black dress with a white collar somewhere, but I can’t find it right now, so you’ll have to settle for the dress from her Madewell collaboration. Anointed as a fashion It-girl by the press, Alexa Chung’s style doesn’t really inspire me, but I do like Peter Pan collars. So I got to crafting when I got this request. Which brings me to this: if you have tutorial requests, I’d love it if you’d leave me a comment or send me an email.
