Tumbler Table Topper
Project #13102

Can you top this? More than just a table topper, this project can also be used as a wall hanging. The tumbler die-cut shape is easy to sew together. Sizzix quilting dies are great for beginners and a fun shape for advanced sewers, too. To create with a variety of fabrics, use charm packs, trade with a friendship group, or use leftover fabric from your scraps basket.
