Instructions
-
Make a color laser copy the size desired. Trim the image.
-
Cut a piece of muslin fabric 1" larger than your image. Be sure your fabric is smooth and free of wrinkles.
-
Tear two sheets of wax paper a little larger than your image. Lay beside your Silicone Craft Mat.
-
Lay your photocopy image-side facing UP on your craft mat.
-
Squeeze a generous amount of Photo Transfer Medium onto a foam plate. In smooth strokes, apply the medium over the image. Apply a thick coat so that you cannot see the image. Cover the entire image.
-
Carefully bend the craft mat back to release the image corner. Put your hand underneath the prepared image, lift and place (medium-covered side UP) on a clean piece of wax paper.
-
Carefully place a piece of fabric over the image. Gently smooth to make contact with the fabric.
-
Flip the fabric over so the paper is upright. Lay another piece of wax paper over the prepared image. Smooth over the image with a squeegee or brayer. Be sure to press over all of the edges to ensure good contact. Let dry 24 hours.
-
To reveal the image, press a semi-damp sponge over the image in sections and let the dampness set for 2 minutes. Then rub over the wet paper in a circular motion removing the paper. Repeat until the image is completely revealed. Let dry.
-
Repeat rubbings may be necessary in parts where the paper is still adhered. Let dry.
-
Trim image to edge.
-
Cut fur fabric 1 ½" larger all the way around than your trimmed image. Center your image and pin the corners.
-
Stitch a simple X around the image edge with four strands of black embroidery floss.
-
Cut the fur backing fabric to size.
-
Pin both fabric pieces together image facing inside and fur side facing inward. Sew around pillow leaving approx. 5" open.
-
Turn pillow inside out. Fill with stuffing and whipstitch the opening closed with needle and thread.
