Creating your own stories can be done several ways.
           You can either cut out patterns and color them or
           you can use pictures from old books or magazines.

           They can also be purchased from Betty Lukens,
          Little Folks Visuals or Child Evangelism Fellowship.
            You can also pull them out of that dusty old box
         in the closet or store room and clean them up to use
         once again. If you are making your own from patterns
          don't use too heavy a paper or you will have trouble
          getting it to hang on the board. When painting your
           patterns always use bright colors whenever possible
                 as they are easier to see at a distance.

          Since flocked paper is impossible to find any longer
         you can affix your patterns or pictures to felt strips
          in order to get them to stay on the board. Another
            way is to spray the back side of the pattern or
             picture with a spray adhesive like 3M #77 and
             allow it to dry, they will then stick to the felt.
             It is very important to let the adhesive totally
              dry or they will stick permanently. Good old
           fashioned scotch tape also works. If you can find
            them at your local craft or school supply store,
            Velcro dots or felt tape work very well. I have
             even seen people use a medium grit sandpaper
                   to hold their figure on the board.

          I will be posting patterns on this site that you can
         download and use as well. If you have any you would
        like to share please forward them and I will post them
                        for others to use as well.
