Adventure Time ornament tutorial 3
pattern and cut piece. Jaggy edges don't have to be fixed until front and back are sewn together
4. Cut out the rest of your pieces: Jake's jowls, mouth, teeth, tongue, and two pieces for each eye. It's easier to cut them all out before you start. If your circles aren't quite perfect, don't worry. You pretty much have to just eyeball this, but an explanation that may help in cutting curves and circles** is below.
**TIP: Hold up your piece and use small scissors to cut across any areas that stick out like this /\ . Your cut goes across /\ like this A . Keep going around the circle until it looks right. Think of it this way: an octagon is very close to being a circle. If your octagon has a bunch of points, all close together, it would look almost exactly like a circle. Since it's very hard to cut a perfect, smooth circle, you're just adding more angles, which brings you closer to a circle. :) The same is true for curves.
***NOTE: I am assuming you don't have a hole punch in the right size. If you have punches for scrapbooking, they'll work on fabrics too. I used a punch to make Finn's eyes. It doesn't always cut cleanly, but you can just trim the fuzzies.
