Tips
for
Making
Flannel
Board
Pieces
Paper Flannel Board Pieces
Laminate each paper piece. Put a piece of double sided tape on
the back of all the small pieces and several small pieces of tape on
larger pieces. Place a small piece of interfacing (pellon), felt,
flannel, rough
sandpaper, sticky velcro tape (smoother one), or anything that sticks
onto
felt or flannel. If you don't want to go through the hassle of
doing
that, just put tape on the back of the pieces.
You can also make flannel board pieces cutting what you need using felt
or
flannel fabric.
Interfacing Flannel Board Pieces
Use heavy duty non-fusible interfacing. Place a picture from:
coloring books, printed pictures from the internet, magazines, etc.
under the interfacing. Trace it onto the interfacing. Outline it
with a sharpie pin. Color the pictures with crayons, colored
pencils, dimensional fabric paint, etc. If you use crayons, place
a brown paper bag on top of the flannel board pieces and iron.
Tips from Viewers
#1
"I outline my designs with
dimensional fabric paint, usually black, it pops the colors. I
found that I was constantly having to replace the pieces I made using a
permanent marker, it seems to bleed yellow over time.". Color the
pictures with colored pencils, crayons, dimensional fabric paint,
etc. If you use crayons, place a brown paper bag on top of the
flannel board pieces and iron. Use these to teach songs, rhymes,
telling stories, or any other activity.
#2
"I just thought I would pass on a tip I use for my classroom
flannel board pieces. You can make really great quality and fast pieces
by printing the clip art ect on to t-shirt iron on transfer paper and
the ironing it on to white felt and then cutting them out. It
makes
wonderful pieces."

Flannel Board Instructions
Take some solid flannel or felt. Wash and tumble dry it.
Place it on thick cardboard or masonite (1/4 inch thickness or
less if you like). (If you use masonite, you can find it in a
home center like Home
Depot (in the United States) or lumber yard.) You can also make it out
of a cereal box, a box, or a pizza box (I haven't done these but you
can
store your pieces inside of them.) Fold over the edges tightly
and
hot glue them onto the back of the cardboard (or box). You might
want
to place another layer on the opposite side and glue it on if you are
using
cardboard. If you are using masonite or any other type of wood,
you
can use small flat push pins or staple the flannel or felt on the back
(folding the edges over tightly). This will last forever and will
not bend like cardboard does.
Month(s): August/September
Theme(s) and/or Holiday: Back to School, Apples, Fruit, Seeds,
Numbers, Counting
Ten Little Apples
Trace around a small round object using a pencil (or use a circle
pattern). Cut out ten apples using red (or green or yellow)
felt. Make
a tree trunk using brown felt and the a large green piece (for the
leaves)
using green felt.
Have the children place them on the flannel board as this song is
sung.
