Tiffap,
I think you have to wait until #5 to trade.
The spackling is the stuff you use on drywall to patch holes and such. The most time consuming part is waiting for the spackling to dry. I use the kind that goes on pink and dries white, so I will know it's all the way dry. The feathers are time consuming at first. But I found that if I measure 1 then hold it to another feather, I can cut out several strips before I start gluing them on. It goes faster that way for me.
Have you tried using freezer paper to cut out the felt? It helps alot. It sticks pretty well. Just be sure to not get the iron too hot. If it starts to come unstuck, you can just use the iron again to secure it. I used my scanner to scan the picture into Word and printed it out on freezer paper. To do that, tape the freezer paper to card stock so it will feed through the printer. Just be sure you are using an ink jet printer. I think it might mess up a laser printer. also be sure to check that the size is the same as the original.......If you can't do it that way, you can simply trace the picture onto the freezer paper and iron it on. The directions are also on the package of freezer paper. It's in the isle with foil and ziploc bags. I also found some at Walmart in the sewing section. It is in a hanging pack and is in sheets, ready for the printer. It's sold as a quilter's help aid. These papers costs a little more but are so much easier to use and are made for ink jet printers.
The clay snowman...all that is cut is the sign. I haven't done the fiber one, so can't help with that.
