Fall is unquestionably considered one of my favourite seasons. It’s additionally a fantastic season for crafts. There have been so many concepts floating round in my head I didn’t know the place to begin. Since I used to be having bother deciding which craft I needed to do first, I select to go together with the one which I already had provides for, which was a burlap pillow, however I needed to layer this htv to create a very distinctive design that may promote at the next value.
What I used:
• Silhouette Studio
• Craft Excellent Warmth Switch Vinyl-Jet Black
• Metallic Warmth Switch-Autumn Leaves & Poinsettia
• Shine Warmth Switch-Gold Medal
• Burlap Pillowcase
• Scissors
I began by typing the phrase “Grateful” in my favourite font “Magnolia Sky”. I then measured my pillow to see how massive I needed my font to be. After sizing my font, I stuffed it with black utilizing the “Fill” device. I like doing this so I can see what it’ll appear like. It additionally helps when planning out the entire design. After that step, I clicked my mouse and selected “Flip Horizontally”, that is important when utilizing warmth switch. As soon as my design was prepared, I despatched it to my Silhouette Cameo 3 with the reduce setting for our Craft Excellent HTV: Blade=2 Velocity=8 Thickness=4. As soon as reduce, weeding was a breeze. I set my “Grateful” design apart and programmed my pink warmth press to 305º F to warmth up whereas I labored on my feather designs in Silhouette Studio.
Since I needed to layer my feathers, I traced my design twice in Silhouette Studio. Earlier than tracing, I made certain to measurement my feathers to the dimensions I needed as a result of after tracing it will get somewhat tough to match the sizes completely. The tracing technique I used was the hint type choice “Hint”, this gave me my black feather define. I grouped my outlines collectively and I moved them to the facet and traced my picture once more. When tracing the second time I selected hint type choice “Hint Outer Edge”, this gave me my backside layer.
Now I used to be prepared to chop them! I used the identical Craft Excellent Warmth Switch Vinyl for my black feather define as my “Grateful” design, so my settings have been already set. I proceeded to chop out all my backside layer designs too. I needed three completely different colour feathers so I reduce them individually with the colours I selected: Autumn Leaves, Poinsettia, & Gold Medal. The Shine HTV in Gold Medal is somewhat thicker so I needed to change my settings to Blade=4, Velocity=8, Thickness=12.
As soon as I had each design reduce out and weeded I positioned them on my burlap pillow to see how I needed them organized. After arranging them to my liking, I utilized the feather fills first. I knew with the dimensions of my little feathers and my massive pillow case, working them beneath the warmth press could be tough. To verify they stayed in place I used a family iron to get them to stay and make urgent with my warmth press simpler! As soon as I had my backside layer of feather down, I peeled again their service sheets and punctiliously place the black outlines on prime, urgent them in place with my iron. In spite of everything my feathers have been heated into place, I started urgent them beneath the warmth press. I all the time use a Teflon sheet simply to be protected. I pressed my feathers at 305º F for 15 seconds. As quickly as my feathers have been accomplished I positioned my massive “Grateful” saying within the center, coated it with a Teflon sheet and pressed!
After all of the slicing and urgent I lastly had my completed venture! I used to be fairly enthusiastic about the way it turned out. I actually liked the metallic fall colours I selected with the black define on prime. I’d like to do extra fall pillows, and would like to see what sort of fall crafts you all have up your sleeve!
