Needle – Beading (Fit through #11 Delicas) Needle Threader - (beading needle will not go through Unakite beads.) Permanent Marker - Black Rubber Cement Scissors Straight Edged Ruler Stylus (or implement that will create a slight impression in the paper - an ink-less pen will do if you don't have a stylus.) Thread - Black - Dual Duty Plus Button & Carpet

HINTS: Practice cutting out pouch pieces on cheap paper first until you have mastered cutting and folding the pattern. Move the paper not the scissors for a precise cut. The stylus should not score/cut the paper but create a dent so that the folding is more precise. Print out pattern onto paper (for practice) or card stock for actual pouch. 1. Cut around the outside side of gray lines of pattern pieces A and B. 2. Place ruler on inside of red lines and mark fold lines with stylus. 3. Fold paper and use stylus to make sharp creases. 4. Turn pattern pieces on none printed side. 5. Paint with rubber cement until pattern piece is completely coated. 6. Place cemented side down on felt. Pressing pattern piece onto felt for a complete meld. Let dry. You may have to reapply cement to some corners. Take care not to get cement on front of felt. 7. Cut out pattern pieces A and B from felt. 8. Re-fold folds. 9. Go around all edges with the permanent black marker so no paper color shows.

CLOSE TO MY HEART OUTER BAND BEADING DIRECTIONS Thread beading needle (size that will fit through #11 Delicas) with Dual Duty Plus Button & Carpet Thread and knot one end. NOTE: I could not get the beading needle through the Unakite beads. You need the thread on the needle when going through felted piece A. Push the needle up through pattern piece to felt side. Remove needle from thread and use needle threader to place Unakite bead onto thread. Place thread back on needle. Push the needle down through pattern piece to paper side. All beading is counter clockwise. Tedious (insane even), the results are worth it. RND6: Start with one 3mm Unakite round. Sew round into center of each split ring from RND3 of tatted rosette. SIX 3MM UNAKITE ROUNDS TOTAL. RND7: Sew one 6mm Unakite heart into each negative space between joined rings of RND3 of tatted rosette. SIX 6MM UNAKITE HEARTS TOTAL. Yippee! You can keep the thread on the needle now!
