Description
When you're a quilter or a crafter holiday seasons start early. Christmas in July? That's about right if you want to get all those fun projects done. The GO! Holiday Accessories die is the perfect way to make the holidays bright. It cuts through multiple pieces of fabric at once so you can create accessories for your snowmen, ornament toppers and a bow. Use GO! Circle-2", 3", 5" (55012) die to create the snowmen, then accessorize them with hats, scarves, arms and carrot noses. Use the ornament toppers with the 2" and 3" circles to create holiday ornaments. Create gifts with the bow using the GO! Square-3 1/2" (55006), GO! Square-4 3/4" (55019), GO! Rectangle-3 1/2" x 6 1/2" (55005) and so much more. Make quick appliqués by applying fusible web to the wrong side of fabrics prior to cutting. Happy (early) holidays!

Die Tips:Â
- With some fabrics, after cutting, a thread or two will remain where die blades meet. Snip threads with scissors.Â
- Blades on some dies are positioned at an angle. Align fabric to edge of shape, not edge of die board.Â
- Use good quality fabric to reduce fabric stretch.Â
- It's always a good idea to test cut one shape before cutting many shapes to ensure fabric orientation is correct.Â
