Directions
Pre-wash the base outfit to remove any fabric finishes that will prevent the fusible from working correctly. Apply the fusible web to the black felt. Cut out various size and shape spots. Refer to Dalmatian pictures for help in creating the spots. Fuse the spots to the sweatsuit and ears. Create a tail by cutting out a long strip of felt and attaching it to the back bottom of the costume. Apply one or two spots if desired. Create a black nose with makeup or eyeliner pencil.
