Conserving Your Cutouts

Would you like flannel-board figures that are durable, even among a family of little children? Put a page of cutouts face down on your ironing board and cover it with a square of iron-on interfacing. Iron at medium heat. Then you can cut out the figures or, for added protection, cover them with clear plastic adhesive paper before cutting. Little fingers won’t smudge them, and the stiff figures will hold well to the flannel board. Janis Broadbent, Spanish Fork, Utah
