Supplies
I have listed some of my suppliers at the bottom of the "Tools and Supplies" page.
1 mm cardboard: choose a rigid cardboard.
Patchwork fabrics
Fleece and wadding
Felt
Cord (3-4 mm)
Beads (approx. 1 cm)
Erasable pencil for fabric
Cardboard and felt glues
Embroidery Threads
-
Felt and matching embroidery floss: I used DMC white, 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.
-
Golden 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
Il vous faudra aussi :
-
Environ 1m de cordon ou ruban de 3 mm pour le tour des décorations
-
2 anneaux de 1 cm, du ruban et une petite perle pour la décoration n°1
-
Pour la troisième décoration, un pompon blanc d'environ 1 cm, que vous pourrez aussi remplacer par une petite boule, une perle, une cloche, etc.
A few details
- If your cardboard is gray or printed, glue a thick white or straw-colored paper over it to prevent it showing through the fabric.
Then cut a piece of fabric slightly larger than the template and glue it to the cardboard. Clip if necessary and glue the excess to the back of the cardboard.
- To cut out the felt, tape the templates on top and use small scissors to cut them together.
