Carnival Calamity 2025 Part 1
Every year we have a Carnival in summer. Each year is a different Theme. This year the Theme is Board Games. I thought it would be an excellent time to play Dress Up.
Starting Square
I have quite a bit of Felt left from other projects. I pick a nice large Blue Square to Start with.
30 Centimetres
I take a Ruler and Measure the Length. It comes to 30 Centimetres.
Middle Line
I Measure Half Way to 15 Centimetres and make a mark in Chalk. I Measure the same distance on the Opposite Side and make another mark. I then Draw a Line between the two points. This is my Middle Line.
Centre Column
I have taken a Second Piece of Felt and Pinned the two together with the marked one on top. I then take the Middle Line and place my Ruler directly over it. I then Draw a Line either Side of the Ruler.
Once the Ruler is removed the two Lines have created my first Column. This is the Centre Column that I will be working from.
Nine Columns
Starting from my Centre I move the Ruler either Side to create additional Columns until I have Nine in total.
Grid
I spin the Felt around and then using the same technique add more Lines. This had given me a Grid with Small Squares. I have Nine Columns and Nine Rows in total.
