Candle Mat Tutorial
1. Cut out 5 squares 1/2" larger than the desired finished size. (Mine are 4 3/4")
2. Fold 4 of them diagonally and press.
 |
3. Place triangles in the configuration above
4. Use a Glue stick to secure the configuration (works much better than pinning)
|
 |
5. (Optional) Sew on a label on the 5th side (create with freezer paper method)
|
 |
6. Sew the 5th square to the triangle sections, right sides together all around the perimeter.
7. Clip the corners and then turn right side out and press.
