This flag is serving a double purpose: a halloween decoration, and my sons pirate party.
I purchased two yards of black broadcloth and 1/2 yard of grey.
Fold the black fabric in half and sew the 2 raw cut edges together. Turn and iron flat.
I drew the skull and cross bones (using Disney's "Jake and the Neverland Pirates" as a reference). Trace your design onto the paper side of Heat n Bond*** fitting the pieces to take up as little space as possible. This will save you on heat n Bond and your grey fabric.
Iron onto the grey fabric following the directions that come with the Heat n Bond.
Cut out your design.
Remove the paper from the back.
Position the pieces onto your flag and iron.
***Heat n Bond is like a sheet of glue lightly attached to paper that is activated by heat from an iron. You can purchase it at any fabric store. There are other brands but I like the performance of this product especially when you are not sewing around the applique.
