The wreath is really easy to make. I used deco-bond and heat and bond. You put the deco-bond on the wrong side of the backing. Heat and bond is used on the appliqué piece and base fabric. I cut an X on the base before I sew the base and back together. You turn it right side out. The appliqué piece is ironed onto the base fabric and covers the X cut. I do a blanket stitch around the appliqué. You use the template to sew the squares together. You sew the flaps you created by sewing the squares together by hand. I added spider and ghost buttons to the Halloween one I did. The deco-bond gives it stiffness without the bulkiness. The cutting of the fabric takes longer than the sewing. I've made 5 of them. I helped teach a class to make them. If you pm me I'll email the notes from the class.
