Instructions for Week 4: Little Witch Table Accessories
Making the Cauldron coasters and Spider Web Place mats
Carefully cut all the pattern pieces on the outer cutlines.
2. Optional: Embellish the Felt Doll with any hand embroidery details or sewn-on sequins or buttons. Caution: Be aware of age appropriateness for any embellishments you sew on.
Making the Cauldron Coasters and Spider Web Place Mats
3. Layer a Coaster or Place mat with Craft Extra Firm Non-Woven Stabilizer and black craft felt with RSO. Pin in place and cutout the stabilizer and backing felt generously around each shape.
4. Using a black bobbin thread and matching the top thread to the most prominent coloron each Party Coaster or Placemat, sew in the seam allowance with a shortened stitch length(1.5-2mm).
5. Quilt the Party Coasters or Placemat as desired by hand or machine. Trim the stabilizer and backing felt to match the top printed design with even, smooth scissor cuts. (Use a sharp, small pair of fabric scissors.)
Making the Party Mask
Follow steps 1-5 for each party mask. Place (2) small grommets or buttonhole stitches at the outer edge of each bat wing. Puncture the hole with a sharp, pointed tool. Cut the elastic or ribbon to the desired length and feed the ribbon through the grommet or buttonhole and tie a knot at the ends. Note: You can stitch the elastic or ribbon to the back of the mask.
Making the Potion Cup Cozy
Follow steps 1-5 for each cup cozy. To make closure for the cup cozy, I highly recommend using snap buttons and a snap button tool for safety, age appropriateness and aesthetics to close the potion cup cozy. Velcro is also a good option. Make sure to position the flap snaps correctly by testing before you adhere them permanently. Follow the manufacturer’s directions to secure the snaps correctly and safely.
Making the Witch's Hat Place Setting
Repeat steps 1-5 for each Witch Hat Cone and Witch Hat Brim. Using a sharp pair of pointed fabric scissors, carefully cut out the center of each of the Witch’s Brim pieces along the dotted lines.
Gather the Witch’s Hat top and fold RST aligning straight edges. Sew along the straight edge side.
Turn the Witch’s Hat top right side out using a chopstick or turning tool to help with the point of the cone making sure the point is sharp.
Place the Witch’s Hat cone on top of the coordinating Brim piece and fold the inside tabs up into the cone. Pin and hot glue or whip stitch around the perimeter to secure the cone to the brim. Embellish the hats with the felt flowers and hand embroidery as desired.
Making the Witch's Broom Cutlery Pocket
Cut a black craft felt rectangle to match the Witch’s Broom Cutlery pocket. Pin and sew along (3) sides right sides together, leaving the top open for inserting the cutlery. Trim the excess seam allowance away.
Turn the Witch's Broom Cutlery right side out and use a point turner for clean point.
Making the Treat Bags
Fold each Treat Bag, right sides together. Using coordinating thread color, stitch along the side and bottom seam of the bag.
Fold back the top edge by 1/2" to make a casing. Pin or carefully press with a cool iron. NOTE: Heat from a hot iron can melt the acrylic felt panel. If you choose to iron, make sure to do a TEST press on a scrap of panel felt fabric first. Pin in place.
Edge stitch or whip stitch in coordinating thread color along the top cut edge, creating a drawstring casing. Leave a 1" opening.
Turn Treat Bag RSO and use a point turner for clean points.
Feed the drawstring through the casing with a safety pin. Remove the pin and tie the two ends together in a knot.
