When my mum recently dropped over a big bag of old fabrics I didn�t have much hope for what would be in there. But I found some gorgeous tulle and decided to get crafty!
Frankie has been really into dressing up lately, so I decided to use the tulle to make a cape. Frankie has a love for anything glittery, so of course I had to add some glitter stars to give it that magical look.�Using my Cricut Maker 3 Machine and the Autopress, and some glitter gold Iron-On, I was able to create the most whimsical outfits for Frankie this Christmas!.
How to Create Your Star Designs
For this project, I needed stars. A lot of stars. The stars are really what made these pieces special, so I didn�t want to skimp on them. It was really easy to find a simple star shape on the Cricut Design Space app. I selected the star shape I wanted to use, sized it accordingly and then duplicated it to create an entire sheet of stars. Make sure you save this design as you�ll likely need to print it out a few times (I think I ended up printing 4 or 5 sheets).

Bonus Project: The Star Wand






To complement this little outfit, on a whim I decided to make a little wand too. I cut out two large stars onto glitter iron on, and used the Autopress to press them onto fabric. I then cut the stars out and glued them together using a glue gun, leaving a small hole on one side. I stuffed them with batting to give the star a puffy shape, and then glued a stick into the hole and the edges shut. To finish it off I added some velvet ribbon in a bow.

I�m so in love with the way these turned out, they�re just so magical looking and definitely make me feel very festive!�I think following the same idea, you could also make some really cool pieces for festival outfits or even more children�s dress up pieces like a little tutu or fairy wings? The possibilities are endless.
This project is in collaboration with Cricut.
