Materials List
- Amplify® RazorEdge™ Fabric Shears (10")
- Felt
- Double-sided fusible interfacing
- Sewing machine
- Pins
- Thread
Instructions:
-
To get started, create a dual layer of felt by applying a double-sided fusible interfacing to one piece of felt and adding a second layer of felt on top. This double layer will give the baskets more stability to maintain their shape.
-
Using the 8” Amplify Fabric Shears, cut different sized circles from the felt layers. Use a cereal bowl or a canister as a template to help create the perfect circle. You will be surprised at how easily these shears cut through several layers of felt.
-
Cut eight, evenly spaced, 2” slots around each felt circle.
-
Pin the cut edges back together and hand-stitch or use a sewing machine to sew the sides of the storage baskets.
