Instructions
- Iron the adhesive to the back of the fabric according to the package directions. Let the fabric cool, then peel off the backing. Lay the fabric adhesive side down on the felt, then iron the two pieces together.
- Paper-clip the template to the fabric, then cut out the shape. Sew the ponytail holder in place as shown.
- With scissors or pinking shears, cut out numbers and shapes from the leftover felt, gluing them together as needed. (Our crown template includes decorations.) Use Velcro dots to adhere the decorations to the front of the crown.
