What You Will Need

  • Cricut Felt multiple colors
  • Cricut Iron-on multiple colors
  • Dowel rod
  • Cricut machine
  • Cricut EasyPress
  • EasyPress Mat
  • Magnets
  • Embroidery floss
  • Stuffing
  • Weeding tools
  • Fabric glue
  • Needle
  • Scissors
  • Hot glue and a glue gun
  • Cricut cut file

Instructions

  • Get the cut file and cut out all of your pieces on your Cricut machine.
  • Weed any excess from your iron-on pieces.
  • Add the iron-on to your felt.
  • Wait for the project to cool before removing the carrier or peel right away.
  • Start pressing the fish (you can press two at the same time).
    Go ahead and add the fin, tail embellishments, and smile all at the same time because they are the same iron-on type.
  • Assemble your fish. Add the eye into place with either fabric or tacky glue and aside to dry completely.
  • Once dry, add a magnet and a little bit of stuffing to the inside of each fish.
  • Finally, hand stitch around the outer edge of each fish, trapping the magnet inside. Make sure to securely finish the edges so that the magnet doesn't fall out.
