Fabric card tutorial

This project is SO simple! The hardest part for me was drawing out the animal shapes. If you could find a template on the internet for what you want it would be even easier.

Supplies
Note cards
Card stock
Double stick fusible web (I used Steam-A-Seam2)
Fabric pieces and decorations (buttons, brads, etc.)
Scissors and iron


1. Draw your shapes onto a piece of card stock, my favorite thing to use is a cereal box, and cut them out.

2. Cut out your pieces of fusible web a little larger than you shapes. Fuse to the wrong side of your fabric with an iron. Trace shapes on fusible web.

3. Cut out fabric shapes. For the eyes of my animals I chase to sew on buttons but you could also use metal brads for a totally no sew project. Peel off paper and iron shape to paper card. *Do NOT hold iron on paper too long or it will stiffen and curl a bit.
And there you have it, some darn cute little note cards!

    I love making cards but have never used this technique. It DOES look easy. I'm eager to try it.

    May your weekend be full of joy and rest.
