This is miyu - she says once you have all your fabric - get a pair of scissors ready to cut out your poptart squares.  :3

on the poptart there's a lot of squares that are not the same shape. Cut out 12 pieces of 1 inch to 1 inch squares :3

I made extra squares incase any of them get damaged or dont look like they fit well - i then took some time to recut any that needed fixing around the edges - try to think of cutting pixel squares :)

Now that ur squares are fixed - take ur poptart frosting "purple" fleece & copy the corner edges from ur pic - i measured 8 inches for each side with two steps for each corner next pic will show u

measuring tape is showing 8 inches for the sides - the 8bit style corners i measured 1 inch down - 1 inch across - 1 inch down - and 1 across as you can see on the top of this picture. :)

Once you have your purple poptart frosting cut out - take your sprinkle squares and place them the way the nyan cat has them.  I put the actual pic "the poptart" part going the same way as my bag. :3

Glue time! gently hold the square edges with ur fingertips - take the glue and gently squeeze so that ur making three thin glides on the square. If too much glue comes out use the tip to smooth it out

Glue time! gently hold the square edges with ur fingertips - take the glue and gently squeeze so that ur making three thin glides on the square. If too much glue comes out use the tip to smooth it out

Example: use the glue's tip to smooth ur corners & along the edges like a brush. make sure its a thin layer & not a huge blob. i basically took square by square off, glue, then back to where it is.

Now that ur squares are glued on, turn ur purple frosting over & yup more glue ! - same thing as ur squares, glide along the edges making sure its a good thin layer.

Once u finished ur edges, go zig zag snake from edge to edge like how the pic shows.  Try  to not make a blob anywhere because if u do, the glue may seep through ur frosting & get on to the front. :x

Now place ur purple frosting onto ur poptart fabric. Make sure u pat firmly & along the edges. Add any thin layer glue to corners if needed.  Let it sit & get ur scissors ready :3 time to cut poptart

Look back to ur nyan pic. See the corners? Copy and line them with purple frosting.  I measured about 1 inch away creating poptart background.

I kind of winged it here by eye & created my own corners. It should look something like this. Now get ur black pixel fabric ready to create the bag! Part 1 of poptart finished :3 stay tune for part 2!
