Practical memories

I found this awesome idea on Pinterest (of course. Where else.)
The description below the picture said, take a ticket stub or plane ticket to Kinkos, have them blow it up, print it on a fabric transfer sheet and make this pillow. 
The link didn't work so I can't properly reference the source. Nevertheless this is a great memory maker idea and I will definitely make it someday. When I have my own house. And I don't have to move to a different place (and state) every six month. :0 Not complaining.

POSTAGE STAMP COASTERS

This is the perfect project for a laid-back weekend. It is one of my favorite ideas in December. I should definitely take time to make these. :)

Let's see how to make it.

Materials:

• White felt
• White cotton fabric
• Iron-on transfer paper, available at office supply stores
• Postage stamp images
• White thread
• Computer and printer
• Iron
• Scissors
• Pinking shears
• Pins
• Needle or sewing machine

Instructions:

1. To make the coasters pictured here, download the printable 2-page PDF and skip to step 3. If using your own images, scale each postage stamp to approximately 4″ x 4″.

(note: images in PDF are reversed so they will transfer properly)

2. Reverse each stamp to create a mirror image. Many printers have a setting called “flip horizontal” that will reverse the image, or use your software application’s settings.

3. Print the stamps onto the iron-on transfer paper.

4. Following the instructions on the transfer paper package, iron the images onto white cotton fabric and remove the paper backing.

5. Pin the printed fabric to the felt and stitch around the edges of each stamp image.

6. Trim the stamp with a pinking shears to create a border with a perforated look.

YOU’RE DONE!
