Step 3Create your modern art
If you haven't already, sketch some design ideas, simple graphic shapes will make your life easier. Alternatively you could choose a fabric with a large, graphic element and cut out the fabric pattern as your design (ie large flowers on a decorator fabric). If you need design ideas, search "modern art" on etsy.com and be inspired by the prints created by talented etsy artists. I particularly love this one http://www.modernarteveryday.etsy.com.
Once you're chosen a design, sketch it onto the paper side of your fusible webbing and iron your fusible webbing to the back of the appropriate fabric.
You'll need to separate out different parts of the design so you can fuse them onto the appropriate fabric but don't cut out your designs yet. For good fusing, leave a border around your design on the fusible web.
You waste some fabric and fusible webbing doing it this way but it's the only good way to get perfect edges. Trust me on this.
Once the fusible webbing is ironed to the fabric, cut out your design following the pattern you've drawn and peel off the paper backing.
Arrange your fabric design on the canvas and iron it on using the fusible web instructions.
