- Determine font and size of letters for name on computer then print out. Cut out each letter. Pin onto green felt and cut out.
- Cut silver ribbon to fit along top and toe of boot, adding about 1” to each end. Add a thin bead of Fabric Fusion™ to edges of ribbons then press in place. Let dry then flip over and glue ends to back.
- Position lime and red pieces in place on boot. Refer to photo. Add Fabric Fusion™ to back of each and press in place.
- Position green piece and orange star in appropriate places, then glue in place. Use black yarn to outline each piece. Refer to photo. Working in short sections at a time, add a thin bead of Fabric Fusion™ next to shape then press yarn into place. For edges of shapes that extend off boot (i.e. star) add Fabric Fusion™ to edge of shape then press yarn in place.
