General tools
- Tweezers
- Small fabric clips
- Large fabric clips (you can use pegs if you don’t have the type of clips shown in the video)

- For the decorative stitching I used a sewing machine. This is optional. You could also use a hand needle and thread.
How to
Step 1
Download the CanvasWorkspace project file. Open it in CanvasWorkspace (the desktop version). Transfer the design to your cutting machine.Step 2
Place the two pieces of Kraftex on your cutting mat side by side. Cut the design.
Step 3
Wash the Kraftex pieces and allow to dry flat. This will remove the binder that makes the material stiff and make it more flexible and fabric-like. If needed, give them a little press with an iron once they are dry. Step 4
Glue the two large pieces of Kraftex together, making sure to leave the area around the two slots unglued.Step 5
Wrap the smaller pieces around the split ring and glue in place as shown in the video.Step 6
If you would like to, add some decorative stitching with a sewing machine.Step 7
Fix the hitch fasteners in place.
