Here Comes The Bride Handkerchief

Created this altered handkerchief for my oldest sister's daughter that is getting married. Not sure if she will use it. I like it and think it is nice.

Used Sweethearts Cricut cartridge for the phrase "Here Comes The Bride." Cut the phrase out using red cardstock. Attached the phrase to white cardstock. Scanned the phrase
with my Canon scanner. Followed directions on Avery  iron-on transfer paper pkg. Flipped the phrase since I was going to use iron-on transfer paper. Printed the flipped phrase on Avery iron-on transfer paper. Used a Spellbinder Nestabilities Classic Scalloped Squares Large die cut to cut the phrase out. Ironed the handkerchief. Removed the water from iron & turned off/closed steam vent on iron. Allowed iron to warm up without water and highest setting for 5 mins. Placed the iron-on transfer paper with phrase side face down onto handkerchief. After iron warmed up I ironed the backside of the iron-on transfer paper left to right and then top to bottom for about 20 secs+ in each direction. After ironing allowed for 2 mins+ cooling time. Waiting longer for cooling time is best.
Then peel the paper off slowly and phrase is on the handkerchief.






















 Flipped phrase:
