We found this cute pet costume at the dollar store but knew it needed more bling and some visual interest. Any "witch" would want it that way! Fusible Iron-on Threads make the job fast.

Materials needed:

  • felt witch's hat
  • Kreinik Iron-on metallic threads in your choice of colors. We used 1/8" Ribbon and #16 Braid in 6700 Cantaloupe (glow-in-the-dark orange), 6090 Black, 6200 Daffodil Yellow, 6255 Autumn
  • home iron or craft iron
  • Kreinik Press Cloth

Note: if your iron is not Teflon-coated, you will want to use a press cloth between the thread and the iron, or apply a Kreinik Adhesive Press Cloth to your iron (several sizes are available). Apply the Adhesive Press Cloth while your iron is cool and unplugged.

Instructions:

  1. Turn your iron on to the highest heat setting and let it heat thoroughly.
  2. Lay your fusible Iron-on thread at a starting point, cover with a Teflon press cloth, then press for several seconds until the thread adheres. Continue working this way, working your monogram in sections. Note: the Teflon keeps the heat-activated adhesive in the thread from sticking to your iron. Some home irons are already Teflon-coated, but the mini craft irons will need a sheet of adhesive Teflon or a piece of Teflon (both available from Kreinik).
