Dryer Sheet Pansy Tutorial Part 1

As promised, here is the tutorial for making Dryer Sheet Pansies. You can find the tutorial for painting the dryer sheets in my post of December 21, 2006. If you would like to make some of these, but don't care to mess with painting the dryer sheets, there are still a few packs available in my Etsy shop.

The supply list for this project can be found in my December 22, 2006 post.

First, here is the pattern:



Click on the image to go to my Flickr site where you can download the large version. When printed, the pansy at it's widest point should measure about 3 inches.

The dotted lines are stitch marks so don't worry about those for now.

Trace 1 of each of the pansy parts and 3 leaves onto paper side of your fusible web.



Cut them apart and iron the leaves to your green dryer sheet, the large part of the pansy to the purple dryer sheet and the small part of the pansy to the yellow dryer sheet.



Next, iron a piece of lightweight interfacing to your cotton fabrics.



Cut out leaves and pansy parts, remove paper backing and iron to right side of fabric.



Now cut your pansy pieces out around the edge of the dryer sheet.



You'll need a dab of glue to attach the yellow part of the pansy to the purple part of the pansy. Just use what you have, it doesn't have to be fabric glue. White household glue will work fine. It's just a temporary hold.

Tomorrow, I will have the final part of this tutorial for you.
