Description

I had the opportunity to cut stuff up with the Xyron Creatopia and I just had to test drive it with some recycled wool felted sweaters. So I whipped up a few cuffs.

Instructions

  1. Small recycled 2bsweater 2bcuff 2bsweater 2bsurgery

    I applied some dry adhesive onto the back of the fabric with the Creatopia.

  2. Then I pealed off the backing paper from the fabric strip and stuck it down to the sweater strip.

  3. I then ran the fabric and a rough cut of wool felted sweater through the Creatopia using the two scalloped edge blades. I widened the blades for the sweater strip to create a border.

  4. Small sweater 2bsurgery 2bcuff 2bstefanie 2bgirard

    I wired a button to one end and then wrapped it around my wrist to get the button hole placement. I used the die cutting attachment to die cut some hearts for a final embellishment. That's my latest bit of Sweater Surgery I have to share with you! Happy cuttin'
