SUPPLIES:
Extra Hold Heat and bond
Fun fabric of your choice
Non toxic glue that is good for non-porous surfaces, I used " Crafter's pick, the ultimate non-toxic glue
HINT: you will only need glue if you have tight areas that can not be ironed
Here's a before Picture:
Project Steps:
1.Create and cut out paper templates that fit the areas of the toy you would like to cover.
2.Iron heat-and-bond to the back side of your fabric
3.Trace your templates onto the heat-and-bond.
4.Cut out your pieces and iron onto your toy. Make sure to keep the iron heat low enough so as not the burn or melt the plastic.
*for smaller pieces that can not be ironed you can use your glue instead:)
*You can also glue all of the pieces instead of using the heat and bond, however I think it had a much more finished and durable look and feel when I used the heat-and-bond:)
5. (if needed) I took a fine sharpie paint pen and re-painted the letters, I really loved how easy it was to use!!
Your Finished!!

What a cute idea! I love the look!! I miss having a phone hanging in the kitchen. Maybe I'll have to do something like this, just for the effect. :)
Thanks! I know I really want a retro big people phone to hang in my kitchen, also just for the effect, as we don't even have home phone service:) Awww how times have changed, if only cell phones came with a cute little rotary dial, how fun would that be!
Oh, I love it! The phone is so much cuter now that you gave it a face-lift! You're so creative. :)
Adorable! I had that phone when I was a kid; it's still at my dad's for the grandkids to play with. :)
This is so absolutely sensational'!!!!!!
Thanks!!
Sarah, that's so fun, I love when daughter gets to play with some of my old toys as well:)
