A set of chic, colorful place mats will brighten up any dining table. Here's how to make them.
1. Punch petals from pink, ocher, and orange fabric. Then punch a matching set out of fusible webbing (a material that lets you bond fabrics without a needle and thread).
2. Iron the webbing petals to the back of fabric petals; peel off paper backing. Iron petals, webbing side down, to linen mats.

This darling project would be even easier if a two sided iron-on such as "Steam-a-Seam 2" is ironed onto the wrong side of the fabric BEFORE using the punch to cut out the petals. Might give a cleaner cut too since the fabric will be stiffened/stabilized by the Steam-a-Seam.
