Step-by-step Instructions:

Import cut files
Ungroup the strawberry seed cut file and delete the outline layer
Size and duplicate the remaining whole seed layer enough times to fill your onesie/shirt nicely. (Our seeds on our onesie were 1/2″ and duplicate for a total of 3 layers)
Click make it and cut each mat with the correct material setting and blade. (Benzie felt is cut with a rotary blade and on the wool felt material setting on the fabric Grip mat. HTV is cut shiny side down on the standard Grip mat with a fine point blade. Make sure to mirror your image you are cutting from the HTV)
When cuts are complete, weed HTV
Use a true control knife to cut around each seed making it possible to place each individual seed on your onesie/shirt
After seeds are placed, heat mini easy press to second temperature setting and place easy press mat undergarment. Apply heat to the HTV so that transfer can occur.
Allow HTV to cool and remove the HTV carrier sheet
Working on the felt headpiece, use hot glue to glue the long side and one short side of the rectangular stem piece.
Use a wire cutter to cut florist wire to twice the length of the stem.
Fold the wire in half and twist.
Place twisted wire in glued stem and then fill the stem with poly fiber fill until nice and fluffy.
Pinch/fold the bottom of the stem in a cross-like shape and hot glue to the center of the felt circle
Place a small amount of glue at the base of each felt leaf and pinch until the glue is dried to create a puckered/3d effect with leaves.
Arrange leaves on the felt circle around the base of the stem. Hot glue leaves to the base.
Once dry, bend the wire in the stem to create a cute curved stem.
Attach the finished strawberry top to an elastic, a headband, or a hair clip.
