Once you do one you will see what I mean..

I came up with the idea of using the iron on Heat N Bond. I Cut 6 inch squares of two different fabrics and one of the Heat N Bond. Peeled one side of the bond off and pressed it to the wrong side of one of the fabric squares, peeled off the bond on that side and pressed it on the other fabric square. Cut six strips using my clear ruler and rotary cutter. WORKED GREAT!! I used the lighter weight bond (purple package). Gave them just the right amount of stability and flexibility. Also, be sure to use a dry iron and low heat setting when pressing the bond and fabric together. You're gonna love doing these this way. I promise...What a time saver!!!!Jerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05534198903103377077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5419215828725387589.post-25986638142692048892020-11-02T13:13:31.297-06:002020-11-02T13:13:31.297-06:00I have made these beautiful ornaments with Christm...I have made these beautiful ornaments with Christmas fabric also.

If you folded, with the heat and bond, it must be pretty thick.<br />Please let me know what you did.

In my version, I cut two squares of fabric to desired size (make mine 6 inches) and than cut a same size square of Heat Bond Ultrahold. Then using a dry iron, iron one fabric square (right side up) on each side of the Heat Bond. To protect my iron, before starting to iron, I lay another piece of fabric over the square to avoid getting that sticky stuff from the Heat Bond on the bottom of my iron. It's a pain to get off!! Now you are ready to proceed to cut the strips - up to 1/2 inch in width. I use 6 strips for each half of the ornament for a total of 12. The Heat Bond really works beautifully and gives a nice stiff texture as well as a nice dimension.
