Ingredients

  • Canvas/drop cloth
  • 3 colored fabrics of choice
  • Heat & Bond
  • scissors
  • apple cut out
  • iron
  • Silhouette Cameo (optional)

Instructions

  • Google apple silhouette and print image
  • Trace and cut out apple template on fabric of choice
  • Iron on Heat & Bond to the apple
  • Iron the apple cut out onto a border fabric
  • Cut out border fabric leaving a bordered edge
  • Iron on Heat & Bond to the back of the whole apple cut out
  • Cut out canvas (12×18.5) and sew, glue or Heat & Bond it over about 4″ on the top to create a sleeve to slid on to the flag holder
  • Sew a border on to the canvas flag (I just folded red fabric over on both sides, pinned it and sewed. It has raw  edges, but I was fine with that!)
  • Iron on the apple cut out to the canvas flag
  • Sew along the border of the apple and the apple border (optional)
  • Cut out the apple leaf
  • Iron on Heat & Bond to leaf
  • Iron onto canvas flag
  • Sew along leaf border
  • Iron on Heat & Bond to fabric for letters - I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out my fabric letters that say “School Days”
  • Iron on letters to canvas flag
