Fabric Monsters

I wanted to do something fun for my 3 year old nephew that was coming to visit me last weekend with his mom and Grandma. I didn't have much time, so I decided I would try to make something small.

I created a stencil and got to work. Everything I used was from my stash.

Ultra cuddle fabric for the monster body.
Home Decor fabric for the eyes
Felt for the mouth
and regular cotton for the mouth and nose.

The end project was just cute as a button!



My sister-in-law loved it so much she asked for one for my niece. I finished it today. I think I like hers more.. shhhh don't tell. :) Hers has the cutest little bow and is so adorable.

Wall Decor

I found these awesome directions online using freezer paper and fabric paint. I decided to give it a shot, but didn't want to paint on fabric. Instead I chose to try out freezer paper to canvas. It was pretty much like the same as the freezer paper to a cotton t-shirt.

All you need is
canvas
spray paint
image
freezer paper
iron
few books (for beneath the canvas center when ironing)
xacto knife
pencil or pen

So, you transfer your image to the freezer paper and then cut it out. Label the pieces as you cut them and on your original image so you know where the go when you want to lay them out. Place a book beneath the canvas and a piece of fabric to protect it. Then Iron the freezer paper cut outs to the canvas shiny side down.






Once you have finished, find a well ventilated area you can use to spray paint the canvas. Don't forget the sides of the canvas as well. Spray one coat and wait about 15 minutes and then spray another coat. Wait for 45 minutes to an hour and then check your project. Peel off the freezer paper and you have your finished Wall Decor Project.





Enjoy your new Wall Decor! Tasha
