1. Arrange all pieces on bottom edge of T-shirt with part of wings wrapping around to the T-shirt back. Fuse in place following manufacturer’s directions; let cool.
2. If using lightweight fusible web, stitch around edges of each piece with a narrow zigzag or blanket stitch.
3. Referring to photo, use black perle cotton and a chain stitch to hand-stitch the antennae. To make a chain stitch, pull needle up at A, form a U shape with the perle cotton, and hold the shape in place with your thumb (Chain Stitch Diagram). Push needle down at B, about 1/8" from A, and come up at C to secure stitch. Continue in same manner to create antennae.
