I had the opportunity to cut stuff up with the Xyron Creatopia and I just had to test drive it with some recycled wool felted sweaters. So I whipped up a few cuffs.

You Will Need (4 things)

  • Sweater
  • Fabric
  • Button(s)
  • Adhesive

Steps (4 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 1

    I applied some dry adhesive onto the back of the fabric with the Creatopia.

  2. 2

    Then I pealed off the backing paper from the fabric strip and stuck it down to the sweater strip.

  3. 3

    I then ran the fabric and a rough cut of wool felted sweater through the Creatopia using the two scalloped edge blades. I widened the blades for the sweater strip to create a border.

  4. 4

    I wired a button to one end and then wrapped it around my wrist to get the button hole placement. I used the die cutting attachment to die cut some hearts for a final embellishment.

    That's my latest bit of Sweater Surgery I have to share with you! Happy cuttin'
