Step 1: Cut the plant

The magic of images is that little or no effort is put into them. The design is exactly the size you want...my length is 7 inches. Flip the image to cut the design upside down.

Step 1: Cutting the Iron-on The magic of the images, is that there is little or no effort involved. Just size the designs to the desired size...mine are 7 inches tall. Mirror the image so it cuts the design in reverse.

Click the Make button and enter the iron. Lay the shiny/smooth veneer surface down on the rug. Repeat the cutting process for each color. Cricut Design Space will tell you what color it is.

Click the Make button and insert the iron-on. Place the iron-on vinyl on the mat with the shiny/slick surface facing down. Repeat the cutting process for each color. Cricut Design Space will let you know which color comes next.

Then cut the vinyl as close to the cut line as possible to store the product.

Then trim down the vinyl as close as you can to the cut line to save product.

Then remove the excess vinyl from the finished designs.

Then weed the excess vinyl from the cut out designs.

Repeat this process for each layer. There are 3 layers for each edge.

Repeat this same process for each of the layers. There are 3 layers for each crest.

Gather to see what they look like.

Stack them up together to see how they will look.

Step Two: Black Felt Water Bottle

Then collect 4 black beads. These pieces measure 9 x 12 inches. Fold in half and place the ruler on the bottom edge. Place it on the open sides and tilt the ruler 1.5 inches.

Step 2: Black Felt Buntings Then get 4 pieces of black felt. These pieces measure 9x12 inches. Fold it in half and place the ruler at the bottom edge. Place it right on the open ended corners and angle the ruler up 1.5 inches to the folded center.

Then use the rotary cutter to cut the slit from the bottom edge.

Then use a rotary cutter to cut the notch out of the bottom edge.

Repeat every 4 barrels.

Felt is a great stiff surface for buntings and banners

Step 3: Ironing with EasyPress

Now place the black felt on the EasyPress mat and place the bottom layer of the comb...the gray...on top of the barley.

Step 3: EasyPress Iron-on Now place the black felt bunting on the EasyPress mat and place the bottom layer of the crest...the gray one...on the bunting.

Then EasyPress press the first layer for only 15 seconds. Note temperature should be 280 degrees *

Then press with the EasyPress for just 15 seconds on the first layer. Pressing felt temperatures should be 280*

Let the iron cool and then remove the protective film.

Let the iron-on cool down and then peel off the carrier sheet.

Then add the next layer of comb onto your pre-press iron.

Then add the next layer of the crest on top of the previously pressed iron-on.

Press again for 15 seconds and let it cool completely. (I flip each box and when I've finished all four, the first box will cool down.)

Press again for 15 seconds and let it cool down completely. (I rotate through each crest and when I've done all 4, the first has cooled.)

As before, remove the back layer and apply the next layer of veneer.

Same as before, remove the carrier sheet and add the next layer of iron on vinyl.

Press again for 15 seconds. 15 If you don't want to glue enough, do more...but each layer will be hotter and you don't want to overdo it.

Press again for 15 seconds. If 15 doesn't feel like it's adhering enough, do it a little longer...but it's heating each layer repeatedly and we don't want to over do it.

The last layer is the name of the comb. Put the name in the right place and use a touch from a previous layer to hide everything. You do not want the EasyPress to touch the iron directly.

Final layer is the name of the crest. Place the name on the proper space and use a carrier sheet from a previous layer to cover the entire thing. You don't want the EasyPress to touch the iron-on directly.

Press for 30 seconds, then let the iron cool completely one last time.

Press for 30 seconds and then let the iron-on cool down completely for the last time.

You don't look good! These fun shirt designs look great too!

Don't they look great! These fun Harry Potter Hogwarts house crest designs would be awesome on a shirt too!

Now fold over the top of the barley and work...or hot glue.

Now fold over the top edge of the bunting and sew it across...or hot glue it.

Then tie the thread along the folded edge. I looked at the order in which the tables were arranged at Hogwarts ... and Slytherin and Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff and then Gryffindor.

Then thread the cording through the folded over edge. I looked up which order the tables are set up in Hogwarts...and it goes Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and then Gryffindor.

Add tassels to the ends of the rope and hang!

Check out the Hogwarts house sign from a few years ago!

In which house do you think Hufflepuff is too overlooked. However, it looks like a beautiful home.

Which house do you belong in? I think Hufflepuff gets overlooked a lot. It seems like a cool house though.

I read Harry Potter books with my two older kids about 8 years ago. That means my 11-year-old hasn't heard or read the entire book. We decided it was time for him to spend all his time at home. We'll be partying with Butter Bears and a Harry Potter party first. Happy sixth!
