Materials Needed
- black cotton fabric
- cloth napkins
- art canvas
- paper-backed fusible webbing
- iron
- photo (profile view)
- printer and standard printing paper
- tape
- scissors
- staple gun
Step 1
Cut a piece of black cotton fabric the same size as your canvas. Iron a piece of paper-backed fusible webbing, like Wonder-Under ($3 per yard, joann.com), on it—it will turn the fabric into an iron-on appliqué. Set it aside.
Step 2
Take a profile photo, size it on your computer to fit nicely on the canvas, and print it onto paper.
Step 3
Tape the printout to the fabric and cut out the image to create a silhouette.
Step 4
Remove the backing from the fusible webbing and iron the silhouette onto the center of a napkin, following the package instructions.
Step 5
Wrap the napkin around the canvas; secure it to the back with a staple gun.
