Holiday Gifts to You: Snowflake Table Runner!

5 years ago

Welcome to my stop of the Holiday Gifts to You Blog Hop! Today, I'm sharing how to make this fun snowflake table runner!

Here are the supplies you'll need:

9.5" x width of fabric background fabric
Five 9.5" squares in white for the snowflakes
11" x width of fabric for backing fabric
Three 2.5" strips by the width of fabric for binding
Odif Fabric Booster (and parchment paper)
Odif 606 Permanent Fabric Adhesive
Very sharp scissors/Box cutter/rotary cutter
Marking tool aka Frixion Pen

Step 1: Treat the white fabric square with Fabric Booster. Follow the instructions on the bottle and treat the fabric, then press with a hot iron protecting the fabric with parchment paper.

Step 2: Fold the fabric corner to corner to make a triangle.

Step 3: Fold the triangle corner to corner to make a smaller triangle.

Step 4: Fold the right-hand side 1/3 of the way, then fold the left-hand side 1/3 of the way to make a wedge.

Step 5: Cut the top of the wedge off with a rotary cutter.

Step 6: Draw a portion of the snowflake with a Frixion pen. I have shown 2 examples. Vary the widths and the angles to create different styles of snowflakes!

Step 7: Use scissors/rotary cutter/box cutter and cut away the extra. I used a box cutter because this is VERY THICK and I had trouble cutting through so many pieces of fabric.

Step 8: Open the snowflake and iron it.

Step 9: Spray the back of each of the snowflakes with Odif 606 and arrange the snowflakes in the desired order on the background fabric.

Step 10: Iron the snowflakes to the background to adhere to it. You can choose to sew the raw edges down as you would with applique with a zigzag or blanket stitch.

Step 11: Baste, quilt, and bind!

Isn't this so fun?! I took the idea of making paper snowflakes and modified it to make fabric snowflakes!
