Felt Fall Cutout Placemats

Supplies:

Burgundy and orange felt
Fall stencil
Masking tape
Tape measure
Pencil
Embroidery thread to match burgundy felt
Embroidery needle
Sewing machine (can be hand-sewn)
Pins
Scissors

Directions:

1. Cut a rectangle shape from the burgundy felt that fits your table. Cut a rectangle shape from the orange felt that is one inch larger on all sides.

2. Tape the fall stencil to the center of the burgundy felt. Trace the stencil with a pencil or thin marker. Remove the stencil, then cut out stencil pattern with the scissors.

3. Place the burgundy piece of felt centered on top of the orange rectangle. Pin in place. Topstitch the layers together with a sewing machine, or hand-sew the edges together.

4. I have also added fall beads around the edges of my cutout stencil design on my placemats for added pizazz. It is endless the added detail that can be done to these cutout fall placemats.
