Instructions
Cut Felt by Hand
Trace 10 circles onto colored felt with a sharpie, using the 16 oz. can. Cut circles out with fabric scissors.
Next, trace 10 circles onto white felt using a 10 oz. can. Cut.
Finally, trace 10 circles onto black felt using a U.S. quarter, .50 cent piece or something similar in size and round, as a template.
Cut circles out. Use glue gun to attach white felt circles to the color circles. Then glue the black circles to the middle of the white circles.
Cricut Maker Instructions
Pull up this Cricut Design Space canvas. Duplicate the shapes until you have the number of each that you want.
Click ' Make it.' The mats will populate separated by color. If you want to do different colors of the big circles like I did, repeat Mat #4 with each color of felt that you are using.
Add rotary blade to the Maker machine. Put felt onto fabric mat, click 'Go.' Repeat until all of the parts of the eyeballs are cut out.
Glue Felt Eyeballs
Use a glue gun to attach white felt circles to the color circles. Then glue the black circles to the middle of the white circles.
To Assemble the Garland
Evenly space the felt eyeballs across twine, then put a dot of hot glue on the back of each eyeball at the very top.
Notes
Make sure to add glue to the very top on the back of the felt eyeballs. This is so that the garland will hang correctly. If the glue in the middle, the eyeballs will face the floor.
