Iron on Wall Art!

My family and I have been in our home for a year now.  The boys' walls still had some bare spots.  I found this super cute idea on pinterest to be able to iron fabric onto the wall! 
 
Sorry, since I'm new to this blogging world, I didn't get pictures of the entire process.  More like just the finished product.  Will have to work on that. 
 
My oldest son loves animals to no end....and I mean to NO end.  The youngest is currently into race cars.  
 
I found a cool font and printed out the letters. 
 
Next I made squares of fabric and squares of Heat 'n' Bond large enough for the letters.  (Heat 'n' Bond for light fabrics.)
 
Then iron the squares of Heat 'n' Bond onto the back of the fabric according to the directions on the Heat 'n' Bond label. 
 
Next I traced the letters backwards on the paper.  (I swear this was the hardest part of the project, to make my brain work backwards!) 
 
Anyway, then cut them out, remove the paper backing and iron on the wall! 
 
Now, supposedly you are able to remove the decals without harming the wall.  I have not removed any of them, so if you're concerned at all, better test it! 
 
Here is the first one and it turned out great!  I added a couple of fun animals.  When Landon got home from school I got a big hug and he said, "You're the best mom I've ever had!"  :)
 
 
Casey's turned out cute, too.  But now he wants an animal one.  Tomorrow it will be a superhero one, then back to race cars.....He's 4.
 
 
So, that's it!  And I totally plan to make more of all kinds for our home.  It's easy and looks great!
 
Let me know what you think or if you have questions!
