HOW TO MAKE A FLANNEL BOARD

Cover the board with felt or heavy flannel. This will provide a background base for  cutouts. Black and light blue colors work well for this. Measure the board, and allow for a two-inch overlap on all of the sides.  When securing the fabric, avoid using glue on the front side of the board under the fabric. Glue will interfere with the static electricity needed to make the cutouts adhere to the board.

CREATING CUTOUTS

Cutouts can be created with any material that will cling to the board. Here are some recommendations: felt, interfacing, construction paper, etc. When using paper shapes, covering them with contact paper, or having them laminated is recommended; Doing so will make your pieces sturdy. Attaching some pieces of felt or sandpaper to back sides of the covered paper pieces will ensure that they will stick to the board, too.
