Pick Flowers, Not Fights Hoop Art

This week, I have joined a few other Cricut loving crafty friends for a Summer of Flowers event with our Cricut machines.

I decided to use a Cricut project already made in the Cricut Design Space to make a positive hoop art so that we have a reminder, that we should not pick fights, but instead do something fun and uplifting like picking flowers!

Materials:

Cricut Machine (Explore or Maker)
Computer with Cricut Design Space (Pick flowers, Not fights design in in Design Space)
Cricut EasyPress
Cricut Cutting Mat
Cricut Weeding Tool
Cricut Everyday Iron-On Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV)
Embroidery Hoop
9″x12″ craft cut of Kunin Felt in White
Scissors

Directions:

Using your computer, open Cricut Design Space, search for Pick Flowers Not Fights in Images.

Connect the Cricut to the computer. Put the Heat Transfer Vinyl on the mat, shiny side down.

Cut the designs out in the order that they are set to cut. Weed the excess HTV using the weeding tool. TIP: Leaving the design on the mat can make it easier to weed.

Using the Cricut EasyPress, press the design onto the center of the white piece of felt. The design will have to be done one layer at a time.

Open the embroidery hoop and place the felt in the hoop and return the outside piece of the hoop.

Turn the hoop over and trim the excess felt.

Now you are ready to put it out so that everyone can see your positive message. You can either lean it against the wall, hang it on a nail or use some ribbon to hang it up!
