Crafting Made Fun and Easy!
I have had the pleasure of making 2 Harry Potter quilts, using a technique called paper piecing. I found this to be quite challenging but the end result is just amazing!

You will want to put something down to protect your work space to keep it from getting glittery. Also, as I mention in the video, and is totally optional, consider using a rotary cutter and mat. This makes the cutting process much faster and easier, especially for those who have arthritis in their hands like I do. I hope you enjoy making this project!

SUPPLIES NEEDED:
*White fabric – 3/4 yard
*Lace – 2 yards
*Sewing Machine
*Thread – I recommend cotton thread
*Cricut or Cutting Machine
*Foil HTV (Heat Transfer Vinyl)
*Heat press or Iron
*Scissors
*Weeding tool for HTV
HOW TO MAKE:
Cut 2 pieces of fabric. I cut each piece 5 inches wide. You will need to measure your length against your body to get the correct length of your sash. Once you have your pieces cut, take your lace and sew it on each side of your panels that you cut. Place the 2 sides, right sides together and sew at angle at the top and at the bottom to create your sash.
Using your cricut, find a font that you like and cut out the word Bride using HTV Vinyl. Weed the vinyl and then use your iron or heat press to press the vinyl onto your sash. You will need to follow the instructions in the vinyl to adhere to the correct fabric that you are using. Heat settings will vary based on fabric. I recommend using cotton.

There are many ways to create table numbers for an upcoming wedding or event. I have completed these for my daughter’s upcoming wedding and I couldn’t be happier with the way they turned out. Be sure to click the links to be taken to the appropriate page to purchase. Also, please note that I am a Cricut and Amazon Affiliate, and if you purchase through my links, I do make a small commission. Thank you for your support!
I used the font, Elizabeth and typed the numbers in Cricut Design Space. I then used Cricut Adhesive Foil in Silver. I loaded my mat, following the cutting instructions via Design Space and my Cricut machine. Once done cutting, I weeded the foil off of the mat, exposing my cut. I then used Contact Paper to transfer the image onto my log piece. I placed the image on the log, gave it a good rub and then removed the contact paper. Once done, I put a layer of ModPodge over the foil on the log to seal it and to keep it from peeling off. You can use either the matte or glossy ModPodge, depending on what your desired look is. I let mine dry for a minimum of 24 hours.
I used my Cricut Maker to cut the Adhesive Foil and purchased the log pieces at my local Hobby Lobby store.
In this video, I show you how to use the Easy Press with the new Easy Press Mat and Cricut Iron-On Designs. You will not need a Cricut machine for this project. You can also use a regular iron, however, you will need to work with it to figure out the heat settings and also how much pressure you need to apply. I have included all purchase links to the supplies down below, with the exception of the onesies. I did purchase those at Walmart for around $3 each. I hope you find this tutorial helpful and I thank you for all of your support!
