How to Make a Thanksgiving Wall Decoration

STEP 1: Cut Fabric Squares and Fusible Webbing

Cut your fabric into 5″ x 5″ squares if you’re not using precuts. You will need twelve squares. Then cut twelve Paper Backed Fusible Webbing slightly smaller than your fabric squares.

STEP 2: Prep for Ironing

Place your fabric square (wrong-side up) on your ironing board.

Next, place the Paper Backed Fusible Web (rough side down) onto the fabric square. Iron according to the temperature and time listed in the instructions for your Fusible Webbing (Pellon Wonder Under recommends 5-8 seconds with a hot, dry iron). Repeat for all fabric squares.

STEP 3: Cut Out Your Letters

Tips below for cutting fabric with a Cricut Maker or Cricut Explorer.

• Use the rotary blade (Cricut Maker) or fine point blade (Cricut Explore) and pink grip mat or your green mat if it’s not super sticky.
• Cut out your letters by uploading the Free SVG letter file into Cricut Design Space. NOTE: The letters in the SVG file are already set up in reverse (mirror image) and correctly sized for this project.
• Place your fused fabric square in the upper left-hand corner of your cutting mat (fabric side down).
• Use a brayer to make sure your fabric firmly adheres to the mat.
• Set to “Bonded Fabric” or “burlap” with “Default” pressure. I recommend doing a test on your machine first to make sure you have the right settings.
• Cut one letter at a time.
• After cutting, peel your letters carefully from the mat so as not to distort them.

STEP 4: Assemble the Artwork

With all twelve letters cut you’re ready to assemble the Thanksgiving wall art. If your fusible webbing has a paper backing, remove it from each letter, then arrange it on 11″ x 14″ cardstock or poster board.

Once you have the letters placed where you want them, put a light cloth over everything and iron the letters to your cardstock or glue them down. I ironed mine onto my poster board with a hot, dry iron for about 5-8 seconds and it worked out fine.
