I've been making some felt appliques to use on my cards and decided to put together a tutorial on how I make them.
See here my finished cupcakes and ice creams.
For the template click here and for the instructions read below:
1 - Choose your template and trace all the elements onto Vilene.
2 - Cut the Vilene and place on the fabric/felt you've chosen. The Vilene should have glue on one side so it sticks to the fabric/felt. Follow the instructions of the Vilene manufacturer. Usually, you just have to place the side with the glue on the fabric and iron until it sticks to the fabric.
3 - Cut on the lines you drew. If you have a sewing machine you can do a zig-zag stitch all the way around so the fabric doesn't fray or you can use the blanket stitch. I also have a tutorial on how to do the blanket stitch. To see it click here.
4 - Mount the different elements that form the applique and embellish as desired.
Hope you find this tutorial easy to follow and helpful.
Happy crafting
