You can also consult the glossary and mini-classes.
Supplies
-
1 mm cardboard or cardstock (approximately A4 size): I chose wood cardboard because of its rigidity.
-
Cardboard glue
-
Fabric marker pen
-
Fleece and wadding
-
Felt and matching embroidery floss: I used DMC white threads, 310, 347, 819, 760, 3045, 975 and 838.
-
Patchwork fabric: approximately 20 cm. You can use two different fabrics for the front and back of the decorations. I recommend plain fabric or fabric with small patterns so that it doesn't look too busy. The felt will be sewn on top.
-
Gold thread
-
3 half-round rings, 1 cm (used in sewing)
-
Small pieces of ribbon, 1 cm, which will not be visible, to attach the rings: approximately 3 x 3 cm
I recommend you to wait to get the following items as well:
-
Approximately 1 metre of 3 mm cord or ribbon
-
2 x 1 cm rings, ribbon and a small bead for decoration no. 1
-
For the third decoration, a white pompom measuring approximately 1 cm, which you can also replace with a small ball, bead, bell, etc.
A few details
- COVERING
If your cardboard is gray or printed, glue a thick white or straw-colored paper over it to prevent it showing through the fabric.
- FELT
-
To cut out the felt, tape the templates on top and use small scissors to cut them together.
-
You can use fabric glue to secure the felt pieces before sewing them together.
