These fabulous felt masks will transport any child back in time, encouraging them to take a walk on a wild side and share their very best ROAR! Using simple machine appliqué and surface embroidery to create texture, you can create this trio of masks from Carolyn Letten. Introduce an educational element by making your masks realistic in colour, or you can let your imagination run riot with an eclectic selection of felt.
