Description

From the book Make! by Cath Kidston.

Instructions

1. Trace a large spot on to the paper side of the Bondaweb 14 times. Cut each circle out roughly, about 5mm from the edge.

2. Fuse the adhesive side of the spots onto the white felt, placing the cloth over the fabric first, so that the heat of the iron won't distort the felt. Carefully cut out each one, following the pencil line closely.

3. Peel the backing papers off the spots. Spacing them evenly, arrange five of them around the beret's stalk. Press them in place with a warm iron, again using a protective cloth.

4. Arrange the remaining spots in a second ring, just outside the first. Iron them in place as before.

5. Secure each spot in place with a circle of straight stitches, using white embroidery thread. Sew with a large-eyed needle that will pass easily through the thick wool fabric.
