I think it would be cool to do ginger bread men, trees, ornaments, etc., then decorate them like cookies for a wall hanging.

sandilee, I have also been thinking about using plastic scrapbooking templates.

raptureread, this is a wonderful idea. I could have my grandchildren pick out the fabric to use. It would be like us making cookies together but they will be cookies to remember. I could even by fabric makers for them to put their names on the ornaments.

JuneBillie, I have been collecting all my granddaughter's pictures that she has drawn to put on a quilt for her when she graduates from high school. She loves to draw. The only thing is I need to figure out how to get her drawings onto the fabric.

Always works well and you can make all kinds of things. Kids or GKs like to do the drawing on the fusible to help out.
