Carnival Calamity 2025 Part 2

I have to confess that it has been quite a while since I took the photos and think that some went astray so bare with me.

Start Trimming

I do not need the Full Grid so I start Trimming to get rid of the Excess Rows

Seven by Six

Rather that looking this up I am doing this project from Memory. I am therefore not quite sure how many Square that I need. So far it is Seven by Six. I will definitely have to check before I cut any more off.

Fold Through Centre

I have Folded the Felt through the Centre Point.

Diagonal Snips

Taking a Pair of Scissors I make some Diagonal Snips along the Fold. This forms a Triagonal. Some are bigger that others but I am not overly worried as I will even them up once I open it back out.

First lot of Holes

I now have my First lot of Holes. These are Diamond Shape. Once I have repeated the process with all the other sections I will Trim them to make them Circular.

Calamity

I love my boyfriend dearly but at this moment I could strangle him. He distracted me at a vital point. This means instead of the Holes being cut in the Centre of the Squares I have actually done it across the the Line.

I am so angry I could spit. The problem is that not only have I messed up the Top but also the Bottom Felt as they are Pinned together. This is one instance when doubling up has worked against me.

No matter which way I look at it this time there is no clever way to cover up the mistake. What was going to be the Board Game Connect Four has now become Connect Calamity. I am going to have to completely rethink this.
