Iron On DIY

Here is what you'll need. 
Fabric scraps (i get fat corners from the fabric store)
Scissors
"Under Wonder" or "Fusible Web". You can get it online on amazon or just go to your local fabric store. I just bought a small amount - 1/4 yard for a few onesies
 pen
iron
towel
Calling all no-sewers. This is a craft for you.
Print out some letters in whatever font you'd like. Use cardstock if you can. Cut out the letters. 
This stuff is awesome. Cut out a square large enough to fit your letter.
Cut out a piece of fabric just slightly larger than your fusible web. You want to avoid the fusible web sticking to your ironing board so you'll want the fabric to cover all of the fusible web.
Following the directions that came with the fusible web, iron the web and fabric together.  
Let it cool then trace the letter onto the web side of the fabric. 
Be sure to do it backwards because it will be the mirror image when you turn it over to the fabric side.
Cut it out and be sure to peel back the thin paper on the web.
You have your ready-to-iron-on letter!
Place the letter on the shirt.
Follow the instructions on the fusible web again. It involves a wet towel. Please use one without dinner's red sauce leftover so it doesn't stain your first attempt :-)
IRONING...
And you're done! Z is for Zoe :-)
S is for Samantha :-) Pair it with a rosette headband and a little gift tag and you're go to go!
G is for Genevieve & Gretel.
LOVE these fabrics from harts. Love harts!

  2. What a cute gift idea! I'll definitely keep this in mind for any future nieces and nephews (or maybe some day for my own babies!). :) Great tutorial, Jessica.
