You will need :: transfer paper, computer & printer, felt, sewing thread & needles, brooch pins.
The instructions inside the transfer paper pack are pretty foolproof so I won't repeat them...I used transfer paper for light coloured t-shirts...I picked a few favourite photos, cropped them square and then ironed onto beige felt.
cut out leaving a border and stitch onto some contrasting felt (I used teal)
trim the teal felt to size and cut round to make a matching piece.
prepare the back of the badge by adding a brooch pin and a label, if you like :-)
stitch the two layers together using blanket stitch

and voila! you've made a felt picture badge!
experiment with shapes and make a whole heap of badges
a fun way to spend a couple of crafting hours :-)
