Step Two:

Cut a piece of “Fusibles” Iron-on Fleece the same size as triangles and following directions on the packaging, iron the fleece to the wrong side of one of the fabric triangles. Next, place the other piece of fabric on top of the one just fused “right side to right side”. The fleece side should be on the bottom. Now sew all the way around the triangle “tree” leaving a few inches open at the bottom for turning. Turn right side out then finish the edge with HeatnBond Hem Iron-on adhesive.
