Instructions

  • Organize scrap fabric into color groups.
  • Print out the template drawing onto the double-sided adhesive paper.
  • Remove the backing from the template drawing and adhere it to the foam block.
  • Use an Xacto knife to cut into the foam and then for a section of the drawing. Be sure to cut about 1/4 of an inch deep.
  • Remove the top paper part of the section, leaving the adhesive on the foam.
  • Use the cut out paper section as a guide to cut out fabric slightly larger.
  • Take the cut out fabric and place it on the area where you've removed the paper.
  • Press lightly and then use the back side of a seam ripper or a thin metal nail file to punch the fabric into the foam where it was cut.
  • Continue cutting out sections, using them to cut fabric, then placing the fabric onto the drawing, punching in the edges until you completely cover the foam block.
  • Cut thin sections of more adhesive sheeting to place on the sides and press the excess fabric to finish the edges.
  • Frame or display the art as you wish.
