tried foiling

Posted by EstelleUK on September 23, 2009, 6:03 am

Have just made another ( yet another) fabric postcard and did foiling with
Bondaweb ( fusible webbing)was doubtful it would work but I like the
results, not necessarily the design lol. did some Shiva marking with a
stencil 1st. It is in my Postcard album at the beginning.
Thanks for looking--

How pretty, just delightfully pretty. I haven't tried foiling yet. Is it
very tricky? Polly

Thank you Polly. Now I have tried it I can say it is very easy. Trace the
shape of the part you want to add foil to on your choice of fusible web and
cut out the shape. Fuse it in on to the fabric with the iron,then put on the
foil with the shiny side up and iron over (with something to protect it in
case the iron is a little too hot! don't ask!) The foil can be then peeled
away and will only stick to the fusible web! Great fun!

What sort of foil do you use for this? I really like the effect - would
work well for Christmas stuff.

Hi Lizzy. The foil is called Ario Transfoils. I got a trial pack with gold
silver and bronze from one of the shows. I think it was Malvern, a couple of
years ago. They adhere to any sticky surface. I think they can be used on
paper/card also.I have just found their web site. www.ario.co.uk HTH.
