I LOVE TO DO BOOKMARKS!

HOW-TO-MAKE-BOOK-MARKS

TO DO BOOK MARKS FIRST HAND WASH 100% COTTON BOOK MARK WITH MILD DISHWASHING SOAP OR LAUNDRY SOAP. THEN DRY ON A PAPER TOWEL IN SUN FOR SEVERAL HOURS. THEN PROCEED TO TAKE STRIGHT PINS THAT USED TO DO SEWING GARMENTS.

YOU THEN TAKE PATTERN YOU WISH TO IRON ON BOOKMARK(S). IT HAS TO BE ON COTTON SETTING ON THE IRON. MOST BOOKSMARKS ARE 100%COTTON. AFTER PATTERN IS PINNED ON BOOKMARK BEGIN BY IRONING SLOWLY BACK AND FORTH TILL YOU CAN SEE PATTERN ON BOOKMARK. AFTER THAT IT IS DONE AND YOU CAN SEE PATTERN WELL ENOUGH TO PAINT. TAKE PINS OFF OF BOOKMARK.

THEN PROCEED TO TAKE PAINTS AND DEOCORATE WITH YOUR FAVORITE FABRIC PAINTS THAT YOU CAN BUY AT ANY DISCOUNT STORE. I USUALLY GET MINE IN GLITTER PAINTS AS I LIKE THE GLITTER. AFTER PROJECT HAS HAD A CHANCE TO DRY 2 DAYS..3 AT MAX..AND PAINT IS DRY. THEN PUT IN DRYER FOR 1O MIN. ON. REG. AND NORMAL DRYING W/O ANY FABRIC SOFTENER. THAT WIILL SET THE COLORS IN AND CAN THEN BE WASHED EITHER BY HAND OR MACHINE WASHED. THE BOOKMARK(S)WILL THEN BE DONE. THEY CAN NOW BE LIGHTLY PRESSED AGAIN WITH COTTON IRON SETTINGS. BUT NOT TOO HEAVY ON MATERIAL. USE BACK SIDE FOR PRESSING BOOK MARK(S) WHEN DONE.

IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE WHAT METHOD OF TRANSFER PATTERN YOU USE FOR PROJECT AS NOT ALL WORK SAME WAY OR HAVE SAME INSTRUCTIONS FOR DOING PATTERN(S).
