FELT: SLICED CITRUS PARTY TAGS TUTORIAL

Supplies – for (6) Party Tags
– (1) 12” square of Hard Felt for the Base
– (1) 12” square of Adhesive Felt for the Rind
– (1) 12” square of Adhesive Felt for the fruit Segments
– 1/8 yard of Chalkboard Fabric for the Labels
– Glue gun & glue
– Basic crafting supplies: craft scissors & fabric marker

Notes:
To keep your scissors clean when working with Adhesive Felt, we recommend wiping the blades periodically with rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball.

Cutting:
1. Print the Citrus Party Tag Template PDF at 100% actual size and cut out the pieces.
2. Trace & cut the following pieces for each tag, as indicated on the template(to make (6) tags):
(6) Bases from Hard Felt
(6) Rinds from Adhesive Felt
(30) Fruit Segments from Adhesive Felt
(6) Labels from Chalkboard Fabric

Assembly:
1. Peel away the paper backing from (1) Rind piece. Center the Rind over (1) Base piece as shown, with the Adhesive Fabric’s sticky side against the Right Side of the Base, and pat it down to join the pieces.

2. With your glue gun, adhere the Label piece to the Right Side of the Rind piece as shown.

3. Arrange your (5) Segment pieces on the Rind as shown, with their paper backing still on.
For best results, begin by placing the (2) outermost segments, followed by the center segment. Place the final (2) segments in the remaining spaces.
When you’re happy with the arrangement of the Segments, peel & stick them one by one to the Rind.

That’s all! Now go pour yourself a glass of something yummy & refreshing.

For a mélange of bright & beautiful party tags, we love these felt combinations:
– 218003 #1 Lemon Chevron with 88 #06 Lemon Solid
– 88 #25 Lime Solid with 218006 #08 Chartreuse Polygon
– 218007 #02 Orange Mandala with 88 #07 Orange Solid
– 218001 #03 with 218007 #02 Orange Mandala

To adapt these pretty tags for buffet table signs, just punch a hole in the top of each tag, thread a ribbon or piece of twine through it, and tie the tags to beverage pitchers or the bases of serving platters to let everyone know what’s on offer.
