A backing fabric of marbled fabric is covered with these snippets. Some of mine were a bit long so I used my rotary cutter to slice back and forwards on them to trim them down a bit. I added in small pieces of wool top and sequins, spread them over the fabric and sprinkle some bonding powder in there too, overlay with a sheer voile. Test a few colours as some act really strange with certain coloured backgrounds. They are definitely sheer and then look completely opaque! See which looks best for your background.
Cover with baking parchment and iron, the bonding powder will temporarily fix the fabrics together while you machine stitch in place.
The rotary cutter is handy if you don't have bonding powder. Just finely chop some Bondaweb.
