Garland

For each Emoji, arrange the eyes, mouth and other items as desired on the large yellow circle with fusible. Remove paper from fusible of eyes etc, (DO NOT remove fusible from yellow circles) and iron in place.
Remove fusible from the back of yellow circles and place ( DO NOT IRON yet) on a 7” square piece of stabiliser.
Using coordinating thread, sew around each shape with a satin, zig zag, blanket or motif stitch to applique onto the yellow circle.
Alternatively, use the FREE machine embroidery download design for use with embroidery machines.
Remove all tearaway. Align the second yellow circle exactly to the back of the first. Iron in place.
With matching thread in the bobbin, and tearaway under the circle, applique the circles together with a wide satin stitch.
Remove all tearaway.

Technique Tip: Press Emojis using spray starch to add some stiffness and prevent curling or sagging.

Using 9 of the faces, arrange in an order to compliment each other.
Attach a piece of 25cm (10”) ribbon to the first Emoji, a piece of 13cm (5”) to the second Emoji and so forth, until all 9 Emoji’s have ribbon.
Find the centre of the 12mm (1/2”) ribbon. Mark. Sew your middle Emoji to this position. Measure out 13cm (5”) on each side and stitch the next two Emojis on each side. Repeat until all Emojis are attached to the ribbon.
