So I saw this on Pinterest and thought I would have a go this morning.
Here is the link to the original tutorial, you do not need a ScanNCut for this but if you have one you can get it to do all the felt cutting for you.
I made my shapes smaller as the only canvas I could get was A4 in size, I think the one in the tutorial is 12×12.
I made the shape in ScanNCut Canvas and made three different sizes and cut them all out of 2, 12×12 pieces of felt which I backed with HeatNBond.
My shapes were 3.75, 3.0 and 2.25 inches high.
I used blade7, cut pressure9 and speed5.
Covered a canvas with cotton fabric and used a hot glue gun to set all the felt pieces in place.
I think it turned out nice.
Ive done blog posts before about how I cut fabric and felt with my ScanNCut, but on our Facebook group I am still reading comments that some people cannot cut these, so I thought I would do a video showing How I do mine which hopefully may help.
I hope its clear enough for you to see but I was filming it on my own, whilst trying to show the fabric and felt in the machine at the same time as trying to show how I chose the flower design and add a seem allowance layer! Also this video despite only being about 17 minutes long has taken the best part of 5 hours to upload, so I don’t really have the time to do it all again.
Just to clarify
I cut the fabric on Blade 4, Pressure 4, Speed 5 I cut the felt on Blade 7, Pressure 9, Speed 5 I used the regular mat and regular blade
I used HeatNBond Ultra and Vilene Bondaweb in my test to show how they both cut.
I made use of the flowers by making a door stop for my laundry door.
