This is a fun and simple craft to add interest to a t-shirt.
Equipment needed:
- Sharp scissors
- An iron
- Heat n Bond (purchase from craft store)
- An assortment of at least three ribbons of varied widths
- 8-1/2 x 11 inch piece of cardboard for your heart template
- An old towel
- Glue dots
suggested ribbons:
grosgrain pinks (tulip and azelea)
lt. pink Swiss mini dots
white with pink argyle ribbon
1. Cut your ribbons ribbons to slightly overlap your piece of cardboard.
Note: I made two hearts fit on my cardboard template
2. Cut a piece of Heat n Bond to size of the ribbons. Press ribbons onto Heat n Bond according to directions (paper down rough side up ) Protect your ironing board with old cotton cloth or tea towel while you do apply the Heat n Bond.
Hint: I use glue dots to hold ribbon in place until I have one end of ribbons pressed and attached.
3. Trace shape of design (hearts) onto the back (paper side)
4. Cut out shape and remove paper --now you may press and or stitch your hearts onto the t-shirt.
Think Shamrocks for St. Patrick's Day with shades of green combo, then comes the Easter Eggs!
