Scandi style is a popular trend in homeware, and our cushion in fresh green and cream is in keeping with this clean look. The bird motif is often used in papercutting techniques and we have translated this idea into wool fabrics to create the same effect. Use the templates to trace into the back of fusible webbing, then snip out using small embroidery scissors.
Make a canvas picture
1 Download the small bird template and copy onto tracing paper. Cover the back of 17cm square green felt with fusible webbing and trace the small bird motif onto the backing paper. Using embroidery scissors or a scalpel carefully cut the shape out, so that you are left with the papercut motif.
2 Peel the backing paper and position on top of a small square of ecru felt. Cover with a handkerchief and press with a hot iron. Using three strands of cream embroidery thread work small star stitches around the border. Work French knots for the eye, chest and tail area.
3 Using embroidery scissors, snip away the excess ecru felt around the motif, following the scalloped edge. Using a pencil, mark a 1cm border all the way around the edge of the frame. Apply PVA to the line and stick green ric rac into place. Apply more adhesive to the felt motif and stick to the front of the canvas.
