Now we're going to cut the next two layers of felt. These are going to be the two smaller
sizes. Each one is going to be a different size. The first one will be our bowl, and
the next one will be our glass. And these are going to be laid directly on top of the
cardboard, which already has one layer of felt. And once they're laid on top of each
other, they will act as the different rings on the dartboard, giving us different scoring
options during the game. So, the first thing we need to do is make our markings on the
felt. Again, this should be done beforehand when you pick out the different sizes to make
sure that you're going to have a good variation of sizes once they're placed on the dartboard.
Afterwards we go ahead and cut around the circle that we made, again being very careful
to not make too many jagged edges. It's better to just use a very nice, sharp scissor, and
go around nice and slow. The colors here are also very important because that really is
going to make the project be--the three colors of felt that you use should really have a
nice combination to them. Use a nice color combination, and of course you can also use
color schemes for different themes if you have already, say, a kid's bedroom that's
decorated in a certain color, you can definitely use those colors, and also we've done this
project in different schools where they use a theme for a sports team--a local sports
team, which is also a lot of fun. So either way, this is a also a nice craft that you
can probably sell, even though we never did it, but you can probably go to even a university
or something and decorate it in a certain university or school colors. You can also
put like some kind of logo or emblem from the school. All these are different ideas
that you can do with the craft, and in the least it's definitely something that gives
a lot of hours of fun, not only making the craft but also playing with it for children
and really whoever does this project. And this is how we cut the different size circles
of felt that will be used for our dartboard.
