Instructions
- Each base piece I duplicated and mirrored it, so you have a front and back.
- Follow the heat and bond directions, you’re basically ironing the heat and bond onto the felt, no steam.
- The top layers I used the no sew heat and bond and for the bottom base pieces the sewable since I was stitching them together.
- Make sure you have a sticky mat, you want the fabric to stick down good.
- Peel off the backing and place the heat and bond side down on your mat.
- I used my Silhouette, blade 10, speed 2 and pressure 33, double cut, it cut very good, some spots I had to pull and use a scissor a little but not bad.
- I ironed the top layers piece by piece onto the front base piece of each ornament.
- Do any sewing of embellishments before you sew them closed.
- Start sewing around and before closed all the way stuff with fiberfill add your ribbon or twine to hang and finish sewing them up.
- I used fabric glue for some of the embellishments.
Design Tips
Brigit - SVGCuts Design Team Artist
- The slower the speed the better the felt cut.
- I used buttons and enamel dots for eyes, instead of cutting out the smaller pieces.
- I think sewing each layer would look very cute too
I really enjoyed making these, it’s so fun to do different things with your cutting machine and SVG Cuts. The possibilities are endless.
