Materials

Designs by Great Notions 63490 and 63482

Thread by Robison-Anton as stated on color sheets

1 piece of low loft batting to fit the finished hanging

Stitch Witchery to apply to back of fabric for applique

Fabric for applique

Silicone Pressing sheet

Fuse-n-tear stabilizer

1/2 yard of 45" fabric for background and back of wall hanging

1/2 yard of 45" muslin

1/4 yard of several coordinating prints

Hotfix Wand

Hotfix crystals

Two large Buttons

1 dowel 22" long

Step 1:

Mark the background fabric 16" long x 10" wide. Fuse the Fuse - N - Tear Stabilizer to backside of

background fabric. Run the two designs, one in the upper left corner and the other in the lower right

corner.

Step 2:

Cut around the applique fabric, fuse the Stitch Witchery to the back side of the applique fabric using the Silcone Pressing sheet,next cut very close to the edge of the applique.Cut out the background fabric along the marked lines

Step 3:

Cut two 1" wide x 10" long and two 1" x 16" long and stitch to frame background fabric, using a 1/4" seam

Step 4:

Cut the coordinating prints 2 1/2" wide by 4" long. Stitch pieces together across the short ends using a 1/4" seam. Cut two of the coordination prints to border the muslin at the top and bottom and stitch, now cut 2 to border the sides of the muslin. Press all seams, now you are ready to layer batting, backing and top together.

Step 5:

Stitch in the ditch around the background fabric and muslin,

Now you are ready to set the crystals

Step 6:

Using the HotFix Wand and the HotFix Crystals, set the crystals,use as many as you want

Step 7:

I wrapped the dowel with muslin that I tore into 1" pieces, attached 2 large buttons to the bottom of the hanging to give it more weight and attached 2 curtain rings to run the dowel through. I then tied 1" strips of muslin to the ends of the dowel.

I hope you enjoy making this easy project!
