Slice Fabrique InvisiCut Project - Flower Headband

I have loved the trend of the flower headbands since the moment I laid eyes on them.  Is there anything better then creating your own accessories... I say no!  Slice Fabrique InvisiCut is a revloutionary product that will change your world when cutting fabric!  Remember how it is almost impossible to cut lace and silk with a machine?  Well InvisiCut is the answer to cutting all delicate fabrics that you don't want to back with fusible web.  

You can create beautiful accessories by using the InvisiCut and your Slice Fabrique.  

Supplies

Slice Fabrique Design Card Modern Millinery

Slice Fabrique InvisiCut

Slice Fabrique Digital Design Cutter

 

Instructions

Step 1 - spray your mat with Slice Spray Adhesive, lay down fabric, peel off the top of the InvisiCut and lay the sticky side down on the fabric

Step 2 - make the necessary cuts to create the flower [usually 5 cuts]

Step 3 - peel the clear InvisiCut off of the fabric

Step 4 - Fold the flower in half and then in half again

Step 5 - make a couple of stitches through the bottom folded part and sew to a felt base [note all of this can be done with hot glue if you aren't into sewing]

Step 6 - continue steps 3 to 5 with the other 5 flowers you cut

These are so fun to make and really easy!  You can customize the flower to look exactly like you want and in the perfect color.  There are many uses for these - headbands, necklaces, shirts, decor, etc!
