Tis the Season Garden Flag

I love the holidays!

"Tis the Season" 

This garden flag brings lots of joy to my heart and my yard.

With a few fabrics and these Thermoweb products

HeatNBond EZ Print Lite sheets are so easy. No more tracing, just pop a sheet in your printer and hit the print button. or HeatNBond®Lite fusible web, if you love tracing.

HeatNBond®Light-Weight Fusible Interfacing fused to the back side of your fabric, gives that added support for a distort free finish.

ThermOWeb Pressing Paper or parchment paper not only protects your iron work surface, but is a must when pressing and setting the liquid vinyl.

HeatNBond Liquid Vinyl protects and waterproofs your fabrics for outdoor use.

You choose the number of coats you need.

1 coat - water and stain-resistant

2 coats - waterproof and stain-resistant

3 coats - water proof and stain-resistant with a semi-gloss oilcloth finish

It paints on easily and your brush cleans up with water.

I have a tip to share...

Acrylic paint and a stylus, makes eyes so easy to do. Just dot it on and let it dry, 

before you apply the liquid vinyl. 

This flag is designed to fit the 51" X 15" "Gray Bunny Garden Flag Stand" found on Amazon HERE.

The top arm swings open to allow you to easily load your flag.

No place to put a flag???

How about a door hanger? What a great way to welcome your holiday guests.

The free pattern can be found on the Thermoweb blog HERE.

May your season be filled with JOY!

Give Thanks

 

With November rapidly approaching, our thoughts are turning on being thankful.

This new garden flag, expresses just that.

These flags are so easy, when using "Crafter's Edge" Alphabet dies and 

Rounded Dresden dies.

I love their Crossover II cutting machine, with the multiple pressure settings on it, 

but did you know...

these dies can be used in an Accuquilt GO cutter with a conversion plate.

Oh...and all their dies are on sale until the end of the month for 20% off.

Once you add your dies to the shopping cart and go to the checkout, 

you will see the discount.

Better hurry if you are interested, there are only a few days left!

Thermoweb products make the construction of the flag a breeze...

get it flag, breeze. OK, I'll keep my day job!

But seriously...using HeatNBond projects make it so easy.

The pattern is printer friendly. If you hate tracing you will love 

HeatNBond EZ Print Lite

You just pop a sheet into your printer and print all your applique designs.

Then to keep your flag weather and waterproof, just paint 

 HeatNBond Liquid Vinyl on your project.
