Instructions:

Use heavy duty fusible web and if applying to washables it is best to seal all edges with fabric paint. Trace each section of the finished outline onto the paper backing of your fusible web. Apply fusible web pattern pieces to the individual fabrics following the instructions on your fusible web. Cut out individual pieces and arrange in position on the background you will be using following the drawing. Remove paper backing from each piece and reposition and iron in place. Using the black permanent marker or fabric paint draw in details. Using glitter paint, trim or glue on jewels, decorate the Christmas tree and Snowman's scarf. Black slick paint or buttons work well for Snowman's eyes and buttons.
