Baath thyme and a Banner Tutorial


 This is a wreath I made
using part of a design by
Renee Mullins
You can find Renee at
 Plum Purdy Designs
I first cut out the sheep and painted him


I added a rusty star to his penney rug
and
tied a rusty bell around his neck
with  homespun


I drilled tiny holes in the sheep and
attached him to a small grapevine wreath



I made a banner for the wreath using coffee stained muslin
 I cut out a
banner shape
I stitched it together
adding a piece of
interfacing between layers

THANK YOU 
TO 

Kim Dewalt
Old Road Primitives
for the banner tutorial!

 Banner Tutorial

Iron - on Transfer Method
Open up a blank MS Word document . Center your cursor
 on the page.  In the toolbar, at the top of the document,
click on INSERT, PICTURE, and then WORD ART.
a Word Art box will appear, click which ever box you would like.  
Once you click on a box, a text box will appear,
type your saying into that box.  This is where you can choose a
different style and size font.  Once you are finished click OK.  Click on
your saying.  Now your saying should have a box around it.  A small
Wort Art toolbar should appear.  Click on Format Word Art.  That is the button 
with the paint can and brush.  A new box will appear,
under the COLOR and LINES tab you can change the FILL and LINE color
 of your saying by clicking on the COLOR drop down boxes
 and picking out the colors that you would like your saying to be.
Click on your saying again and once again your saying
should have a box around it.   In the very bottom left hand corner
of your Word Document, click on the words DRAW, then click
on FLIP OR ROTATE, then click on  HORIZONTAL.
This will give Your saying the "MIRROR IMAGE" that you will
need to print it onto iro-on transfer paper.  If you would like
 to make your saying bigger....click on your saying until the
box around it appears again, put your cursor in the
 corner until you see an arrow, drag the corner out to
 the size that you would like your saying to be. You are now ready
to print your saying onto iron - on transfer paper.
Follow directions on package of iron - on transfer paper
 for ironing onto your fabric



Here is my finished wreath!


I hung this wreath on the door to my
Baaaaaaaaath room!
Happy Painting!
