Step 5Attaching colored squares
Now you will be attaching the colored squares to the black backgrounds. At this time, you can choose to have all one color on each side or mix the colors up.
Depending on your comfort level, you can choose to hand sew or machine sew the little squares on. I chose to hand sew mine. You can either pin each square in place or use some form of glue. A glue stick will hold the pieces in place nicely until you can hand sew them in place. If you choose to use a craft glue, be very careful not to use too much. When these types of glue dry, they usually make it very difficult to push the pins through. Sewing can be frustrating enough without the extra aggravation of a non-functioning pincushion.
I used matching sewing thread to stitch each color piece down. I generally placed three stitches on each side of color piece. If you decide to use a sewing machine, I recommend using invisible thread.
