This is my 1st attempt at using Heat n Bond to make my own appliqués. Let me tell you I will definitely repeat it! I have unlocked a whole new world of refashioning!
For my 1st trick I started with this sweatshirt that I got from my roomie and some fabric I got in the reminant section at Hobby Lobby.
I ironed on the heat and bond to the wrong side of the fabric with the paper side up.
Now don't do what I did...make sure the heat n bond lines up with the fabric and not over the sides because then you'll end up with this boo-boo...
Oops!
Now after the fabric has cooled it's time to draw on the design of your appliqué.
I chose hearts for this project.
To adhere your applique to your project, peel off the papwr backing and iron for a few seconds until the applique is attached.
I repeated the process 2 more times:
Bicycle print, love it!
Bicycle print, love it!
Circles!
Ironing!
My 3rd project I made for my roomie:
She LOVES sugar skulls!!!

Happy Refashioning!!!

Yes - I'm totally with you about the ease for more creativity; YET: I rather tend to secure them afterwards with stitchings, since even 'warmer' washing can at times do the 'off-trick' as well as the ironing does the 'on-trick'
