About a month ago I was lucky enough to spend a few days participating in the Cricut Mountain Make-A-Thon. I was there as one of the teachers, I taught a beginning iron on class where we talked about using different types of iron on and slicing vs. layering when using multiple colors and/or types of iron on. I am hoping to get a video and post up covering some of the things I taught in my class really soon.
While there I also attended a couple of other classes, and made some fun projects. My favorite was a cute little mermaid doll taught by Kim from Sweet Red Poppy.
They also announced the release of the new EasyPress 2 in 3 different sizes. They had sample projects for everyone to try in each of the 3 sizes. They had a room full of EasyPresses so that everyone could make the projects while they were there, but even though I spent time helping out in the EasyPress room, I didn't actually make my projects.
I cut up the pieces of the design, separating the words and each of the little pots, pans, and cooking utensils. Then I rearranged them and laid them out where I wanted them to be.
I added the words at the top, on the chest part of the apron, as well as a row of pots along the top edge. I added a border of pots, pans, and utensils along the bottom edge.
Once I decided on the placement I carefully pressed the pieces a few at a time, making sure that none overlapped.
The finished apron turned out pretty cute and it was a fun way to use the pre-made iron on designs in a different way.
