I have to admit, I have always been a bit timid to use no-sew permanent adhesive. Many years ago when I used it for other projects, the edges always seemed to lift and curl.
For baby showers, one of the items I love to give are hand made blankets. This cute one was meant for a friend when I noticed a little hole that would eventually fray and then be a perfect hole for a little girl to stick her finger in and tear it even bigger.
Here is my chance to get over my timidness about the heat bond.
What you'll need:
No-sew Permanent Adhesive {I used Heat-n-Bond}
Extra Material
Pencil
Iron & Ironing Board
Scissors
Prep material as directed on package.
Cut a piece of patch material and adhesive.
*Tip: cut the adhesive piece just a bit smaller than the patch material so that as it is heated it will not stick to the ironing board.
Iron as directed on package.
Draw your desired shape and cute out the patch {mine was a heart}.
Proceed with adhering the patch as directed on package.
Pretty much, it was so super easy. I couldn't tell you what my hold up has been all this time. Simply didn't work years ago when I tried and so I have stayed away ever sense. Well, not any more!! This heat transfer material has opened up a whole world of possibilities for me. Yea!!
Keep Creating
