Children's Crafts: Velcro-Ball Dartboard Top Felt

Video Transcript

"Now we're going to go ahead and glue the different circles, the different layers on top of the original layer. It's going to be a little bit different gluing felt on felt, so make sure that you have a good glue. And it's also important, again, to get the edges as we did on the first layer, because this layer can also start peeling upward, which is just a natural tendency for cloth. That's not very hard. And because it's not hard, it can constantly start coming up on the edges, so you really want to make sure that you have a nice, solid strip of glue around the outer edge, and that it gets pressed down nice and tight. Now when we put the circles onto the flat cardboard surface on the original layer, it doesn't have to be one right on top of each other, in the middle. In other words, concentric circles. You can actually put the second layer in a little bit of a different position, and this will just make a different type of--change the strategy a little bit of the game, when trying to throw the ball and hit a certain spot on the dartboard. And again, also the circles can be all different sizes depending on how hard or how easy you want to make the game. But there's really no set way to place the circles. We've purposefully put them on the bottom, so that the outer edge is a little bit more pronounced, and that will just change the way the game is played. So just keep that in mind when you're making your shakes and your making the sizes. So this is the way that we glue the layers on top of each other to make the circles of our dartboard."
