• Joy Iron On Embroidered Letters in Orange and Gold
• 3 1/2″ x 5″ Oval Wooden Embroidery Hoop*
• Old Plaid Fall Shirt
• Beacon Fabri-Tac Permanent Adhesive*
• Ribbon and Trim
• Acorn Embellishment
• Scissors

• Lay the embroidery hoop onto the fabric first and  then place the letters inside the hoop to help you figure the best placement.

• Set Iron to cotton setting, approx. 350 degrees, or follow garment care label.
• Position letters with shiny side down onto fabric.
• Cover letters with a fine cloth.  With a firm pressure, iron cloth over letters for 30 seconds.
• Turn fabric over and iron the back for another 30 seconds.

• Loosen the screw on the top of the embroidery hoop and insert fabric making sure to keep the letter alignment straight.  (re-tighten screw)
• Trim excess fabric from outside of embroidery hoop.
• Glue the green braided trim around the outside of the embroidery hoop.

• Tie ribbon and leaves to the top of the frame.
• Glue small acorn embellishment onto ribbon.
• Super cute and simple to make.
