My first attempt of Matchbox Art.First I decided on my color got some felt and used my Felting attachement to work wool roving, yarn and organza ribbon into the felt. A little hand embroidery  and beads sewn on,ironed 2 sided fusible and cut it to size. Then ironed it onto my Matchbox, decided to use some micro beads in green and silver on it ,added my hand made Frog Charm and ready to go.
