Activity:

Step 1. Gather your supplies.

Step 2. Iron your fabric to remove any creases.

Step 3. Iron on a piece of interfacing to the wrong side of your fabric, this should make your fabric nice and thick and prevent fraying.

Step 4. Trace your desired design in reverse on the interfacing side. Remember it will come out in reverse so if you are doing letters you will need to trace them in mirror image.

Step 5. Cut out your shapes.

Step 6. Glue them on to your desired location with the PVA, brushing onto the back of decal initially then when positioned brush onto the front. The glue will soak through and create a bit of a shiny finish when it dries.

Step 7. You're done!
 

Notes: Make sure to wipe of any excess with a damp cloth while the glue is still wet.
