Reindeer Table Runner

I really love the HTV glitter vinyl.  So simple to cut and iron-on.  Today my sister-in-law came over and we added two reindeers and some snowflakes to her table runner using the gold glitter HTV made by Cricut.

• My sister-in-law is the seamstress in the family.  She made the table runner and wanted to add some bling to it.

• Reindeer = cut at 8.5" from Cricut Joys of the Season cartridge using the blackout feature.  There is one reindeer at each end of the table runner.

• Snowflakes = cut from  2.5" up to 3.5" using Cricut Joys of the Season cartridge.  Blackout feature was used.  Snowflakes were added to the center of the table runner.
