Make a paper copy of the photo or picture you would like to use. You can google silhouettes on the internet if you don’t have a particular image in mind. Carefully cut around the paper template.</p> <p>2. Place template on the back of the adhesive-backed felt. Trace around the template on the paper backing with a sharpie. Cut out the felt shape.</p> <p>3. Deicide where you want to place your silhouette. Peel paper backing and stick shape on your cushion cover.</p> <p>4. As the adhesive won’t last for multiple washes, it’s a good idea to sew the felt in place. Using your needle and embroidery thread, sew around the edge of the shape.</p> <p><em>Sources: The Fashion Workshop/ Homemade By Jill</em></p>
