  • Pencil
  • Black fabric paint
  • Thin paintbrush
  • Iron-on foil
  • Iron
  • Tea towel

Step 1

Print the face template on paper. Carefully cut out the different parts of the face.

Step 2

Next, position the template pieces on the cushion cover and draw round each with a pencil.

Step 3

Paint the abstract face design using a thin paintbrush and black fabric paint, and leave to dry.

Step 4

Use the template to cut out a pair of lips in pink iron-on foil. Set the iron to a cool setting with the steam off and place the lips on the cushion cover. Lay a tea towel on top and gently iron over for a few minutes until the foil has bonded to the fabric. Remove the tea towel and allow to cool before peeling off the top carrier layer of the foil.
