Items needed for this project:
- Bonded fabric ( I used Anna Griffin bonded fabric)
- A red banner (found at Target)
- Purple strong grip mat
- Easypress
- Easypress mat
- Project link
To cut fabric:
Place the fabric paper side on the mat (don’t remove paper until after cutting is complete). I use a brayer to smooth the fabric onto the mat. I have provided the link for the project above to cut the hearts for the banner in design space. When I remove the fabric from the mat, hold onto a corner of the mat and pull quickly from the corner to remove excess from mat. Then repeat the process, to reduce the fraying of the image.
To press onto banner:
Remove the paper backing from the back of each heart, this will expose the adhesive to adhere to banner. I preheat the the easypress to 315 for 30 seconds, since I’m using a felt banner. I suggest using the settings guide for the easypress if you are using a different type of banner. I have provided the link for the settings ( I highly suggest saving it for future reference). Once the easypress beeps when ready to use, preheat banner piece for a few seconds before pressing heart to banner. I press each banner piece repeating the steps until all fabric hearts are adhered, this completes the banner.
I love how simply I can take something plain and make it extra special and unique. It makes everyday and every celebration that much sweeter. I love using the easypress 2 with the temperature memory and easy to read controls, there’s no more guesswork if it’s at the right temperature. There are so many projects that can be quickly made at the last minute like this cute banner, that you will always have the option to make something unique.
