Tapete iron-on fun!
I’m secretly a great fan of crafty bloggers, like monda-loves… kup kup land… cupcakes for clara… elsie marley… syko, or scrap a bee… (there are so many great ones out there). I just love looking at them, and dreaming away… And I do get so inspired. It’s just – where do I find the time for all these crafts?
But in the past few days I have been working on a little something. Ahum. It’s nothing as cute as the stuff I see on the real crafters’ blogs, but I made an effort!
Reason for all this activity is Tapete’s iron-on kits. Judith sent me 2 kits to try out: a green deer called ‘Karl’ and a glittery silver car with the name ‘Glossy Gentleman’.
Of course I could have ironed them on a onesie, but I felt I had to come up with something a little more original. So, after lying next to me on my desk for a couple of weeks (sorry, Judith), I finally came up with the idea of making a collage on an old pillowcase!
What do you think? They came out quite nice, I find! I only used leftover pieces of fabric, old yarn and buttons…
If you want to give it a go, you can buy the iron-on kits at Tapete. They have a great selection of the cutest images available! They come with very clear instructions, and are extremely easy to use. I am definitely going to order more and make more collages! But you can also just iron them on a onesie (or curtains, bed sheets, T-shirts, etc.)…
NOTE: If you order 2 iron-on kits and quote ‘babyccino‘ in the ‘comments’ box at check-out, Judith will send you a third surprise iron-on kit for free! (She ships internationally).

This is SO stinken’ cute. I think you ARE as good as the ‘real’ craft bloggers… I am so impressed with your creativity!
And speaking of those other bloggers… those sites are all so cute! How have I never known about these? How inspiring!
excellent idea to use the iron-me-kits in such a way…. I’m a big fan of tapete’s graphic outfits for kids anyway
I’m very impressed!! What can’t you do Esther???
Get out of town! Are you sure no sneaky trips to the local kledingreparatie were involved???. V. impressive! X
Build a house out of a cardboard box?
Esther what you did is amazing!!!
I’m impressed…. as usual!
So fun! One of my goals this year is to be more crafty. And I have to agree, you are just as crafty as all the others. What darling pillow cases.
Thanks, all of you! But you’re giving me too much credit – it was easy! You can do it too, I swear!
Mooi! (beautiful!)
