Hello, Friends.  I love making my own gifts.  And it appears a baby boom is on the horizon.  I purchased a few blank bibs in pink, blue and red from TSC Apparel for $1.81 each.  Then purchased a design from Silhouette store for .99 and used a sheet of Square1 Printable Iron-On (approximately $2.22 per sheet).

| For This Child I Prayed | 
- Bib from TSC Apparel - $1.81 each
 
- Silhouette Design #18733 - $ .99
 
- Square1 Printable Iron-On - $2.22 per sheet.  I was able to print both on one sheet.
 
- Total cost = $6.83 for both bibs or $3.42 each
 
- First measure and determine how big you want your design.  I decided on 6" for these bibs.

| Pre-heat heat press | 
- Settings when using a heat press are: 325 degrees and 4 seconds.  This product can also be applied with a home iron.  I used heat press simply because we have a home based t-shirt business and it was available for me.
 
- Press the bib alone without design first for 4 seconds.

| Silhouette settings | 
Silhouette process:
 
 
- Select design and size to 6".  
 
- Color fill with your choice of colors.  
 
- I also added text "For This Child I Prayed"  
 
- Group all together and set cut lines at Cut Edge.   
 
- Add registration marks.  
 
- Print on home printer.  
 
- Cut with settings of Speed 5, Thickness 13, Blade 5.
 
 
  | 
| Completed baby bib | 
- Place Silhouette image onto pre-heated bib.  
 
- Cover with teflon sheet and press for 4 seconds at 325 degrees.  
 
 
This really is a simple process.  If you already know how to do print and cut with the Silhouette, you are more than half-way there.
Thank you for visiting today! ~ Marilyn
