Princess Crown Fabric Wall Decal for Maya

Inspiration from: http://www.madebymarzipan.com/?x=2633 Supplies: Roll of Heat n Bond Ultrahold Cotton fabric Iron (and possibly an extension cord) Clip art image (silhouettes are easiest) Pen & scissors 1) Now that you have your image, let’s get started by ironing your fabric. It needs to be completely wrinkle free. Then, lay the fabric face down and lay down the Heat n Bond on top of it, with the paper side facing up. Iron on top of the paper to adhere it to the fabric. 2) Draw your image directly on top of the paper backing. Remember that you are drawing on the BACK of your decal, so your image will be reversed when you cut it out. Don’t worry if you make a mistake, the paper will be removed and no one will know. 3) Cut out the decal. Iron once more, being sure that all of the edges are secure. Allow to cool completely, then peel off the paper backing. 4) Iron it directly onto the wall. You might need to use an extension cord. 5) To remove the decal, simply peel off. It won’t take off the paint or leave any marks– BUT– you probably won’t be able to reuse the decal once it’s been removed, it loses most of its “stick.” Remember, you can now upload your project images directly to Made By Marzipan, so if you try this, share a pic in the comments section!

Earth Day Shirt made by Aiden (sandpaper, crayons, iron)

http://alphamom.com/family-fun/crafts/sandpaper-printed-t-shirt/ good quality crayons, a t-shirt, iron and fine sand paper. Our package of sandpaper had a selection and we used the finest. The more coarse sandpaper will provide more texture. Give them all a try! Color a fun design on the sandpaper. Remind children that the image will be reversed. Once the design is colored go back over the design giving the sandpaper an extra thick layer of crayon Place a piece of cardboard inside the t-shirt to keep the design from bleeding through to the back of the shirt. Position the sandpaper right side down on the t-shirt. Place a piece of parchment paper or paper towel on top of the sandpaper to protect the iron. Iron, on cotton setting, the sandpaper for about 30 second. Gently lift one edge and make sure you have a good print before totally removing the sandpaper. Iron a bit more if you need to transfer more of the crayon Remove the sandpaper. You’ll have a print with loads of cool texture–not to mention a new darling t-shirt. To set the color, place a couple of paper towels on top of the design and iron. This will remove some of the extra wax. Toss t-shirt in the dryer for about 20 minutes to set the color. Launder by itself the first time.
