  • Coloured pencils / pens
  • Anything else to make your picture e.g. lollipop sticks

Instructions:

1. Sketch out your drawing design in pencil it can be as detailed or simple as you like.

2. Cut your wool into short lengths as its easier to use.

3. Put glue on the paper, PVA, Copydex or Pritstick will work.

4. Stick your wool down close together to make a block of colour.
