Directions:

1. Prepare the Monstera pattern above. We provided a couple of different sizes but you can scale the pattern to the size you want. Print the pattern onto copy paper - to cut out and pin on the felt - or freezer paper. Read more about the freezer paper method here. Use the SVG pattern with a Cricut Maker.

2. Cut out felt pieces. Save the scraps for a later step.

3. Spray leaves with fabric stiffener over scrap paper or cardboard. The amount of spray will determine the stiffness of the leaves. (Think of it like hairspray!) Allow leaves to dry completely. You can learn more about spray stiffener here
