The front porch was needing a little touch of Easter. I was inspired by Uncommen's kitchen table. I just free-handed carrot shapes onto fusible webbed back fabric and ironed them on my pillow panels. The greens are just made from long strips of 2 shades of green fabric. Just for fun, I top-stitched the carrots (b/c nothing says fun like top-stitching).
I found this image at the Graphic's Fairy (It's from Alice in Wonderland). I saw the coolest technique over at Salt Tree. She just ironed freezer paper to the back of fabric(to add stiffness) and sent it through the printer. I had very low expectations (today it took me 3 tries to print out regular paper) but it worked! So gonna do that again.

ReplyDeleteGreat pillows, very colorful and cute for Easter. What a fun way to use the graphic, I hadn't heard of the technique before but it's very clever. I would have been skeptical that it would work too :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing on A Crafty Soiree.
Oh my gosh, it did work! So, you just ironed the paper on to give it stiffness then peeled it off??? Holy smokes, I've got to try this!
