First select your outline image: Peacock | Elephant | Bird | Camel
You will need:
- Piece of cotton material
- Embroidery ring
- Textile crayon or pencil

Instructions:
Trace your animal onto the cloth. You can tape the template onto a window pane and then tape the cloth on top and trace the animal outline with the textile crayon or penicil. On paper draw out a design for the blanket. Once you are happy with the design copy it onto the cloth with the textile crayon or pencil. Then begin sewing.
