Mother's Day Breakfast in Bed Gifts
How to Make a Decorative Table Cloth
-
Press your fabric so that there are no wrinkles in it.
-
Cut the fabric into a rectangle. You can measure it to make sure it fits the serving tray or table.
-
Using your pinking sheers cut around the 4 raw edges.
Pro Tip: "Using pinking sheers gives the fabric a zigzag edge, and prevents the fabric from fraying. Plus it is a great alternative if you don't want to sew!" - Jane Monzures -
Create your design and print if off.
-
Follow the instructions on the packaging of the iron on transfer sheet, and transfer your design over. Trim the edges as needed.
-
Iron your design onto the tablecloth following the instructions again from the transfer sheet. Once it cools peel, it off to reveal your design.
How to Make a DIY Chalkboard Coffee Mug
-
Make sure your mug is clean and completely dry.
-
Tape around the mug where you do not want the chalkboard paint.
-
Using short strokes paint the mug. Apply as many coats as necessary.
-
Let the mug sit until it is dry. Once it is dry, you can write personal messages on the mug.
