Iron "Heat and Bond" on to the back of your wool.
Then trace the tree pattern and cut them out of the wool.
You can see that my wool was a little smaller than the pattern so I just cut my trees a little smaller. I wanted the monkey to show on my background fabric so I made some adjustments to all of my tree shapes after making the first original cut. Go ahead and get creative with your tree shapes.
Punch holes. I punched two trees at a time. I'm always looking for the shortcut!
This is what I used to punch my holes.
10 holes in each Tree. It will put marks in the wood so don't do this on your kitchen table!
I found a scrap of wood in my garage leftover from a three year old remodel job.
Sometimes I am glad no one cleans out the garage.
Carefully tack a small piece of fabric to the back over each hole.
Try not to get "heat & bond" on your iron.
Now you will have a solid color behind each hole.
I did two of my tress with orange as the background and two with yellow.
This has nothing to do with the game but I just liked the way it looked with two different colors.
Get creative in the center if you want.
This is the first gameboard quilt I made.
