No-Sew American Flag T-Shirt

 This no-sew project is so quick and easy you’ll spend more time picking out your ribbon than actually working!! Here’s what you’ll need:

 Assorted red, white, and blue ribbons
ultra hold iron-on adhesive ( I used Heat ‘N Bond, but any brand will do)
t-shirt
scissors
fray check
iron and ironing board

 First off, I need to tell you that the iron-on adhesive needs pretty high heat to adhere, so use a press cloth to prevent your ribbon from burning... I just used a tea towel. Also, if you’ve never worked with and iron-on adhesive, it is double-sided. The rough side is the side with the glue. The smooth side has glue too, but there is a liner over it. Now for the tutorial:

1) Cut the iron-on adhesive into a rectangle. Use your t-shirt to help you decide the size of your rectangle. Lay the rectangle on the ironing board, rough side up. Cut the blue ribbons all the same length, about 1/3 the length of your rectangle and arrange in the top left corner of your rectangle (rough side up.) Cut a few red/white ribbons to reach from the blue ribbons to the end. Put a little fray check on the raw edges of the ribbons to keep them from fraying when you wash the shirt.


2) Cut a few red/white ribbons to reach all the way across the rectangle and arrange them below the blue.

3) Now use your press cloth and iron the ribbons to the adhesive.

 4) Once you have your flag arranged and pressed onto the adhesive rectangle, you are ready to peel off the lining on the back. Then lay your flag onto the t-shirt, and press again-- don’t forget your press cloth.
