You can also use black felt fabric to design the characters without worrying about the fabric fray. Just get a template printed and cut it into your desired shape. Now draw the exact template on the felt fabric, and cut it with sharp scissors for a fine look.

In the end, use fabric glue to stick it, and let it dry before you sew the both parts together. And here you go, you spooky and scary cushion cover is ready to use!
