Can you do a follow up video about how your sparkle clutch looks a year later? I'm curious if all the sparkles and beads stayed embedded in the felt.
@muffsmerino27 күн бұрын
Oh, I have sold this clutch, but I love this technique so much, I will do another one. Then I can keep it this time so we can find out! I might say though, the nylon is quite strong and woven fairly tightly. I find the most wear and tear is at the beginning, once it's fresh. Anything that comes out of it, will come out first and then all the other little bits and parts seem to be quite snug in there. But great idea to test this and definitely a follow up video will come. In time :)

The beads and fabrics are definitely a favourite technique I will delve more into in the future. There will be more to come on this. I really love creating prefect or wool shapes too and then apply the nylon and beads as an accent area. So much can be done and the beads really pop! Like al little fairy garden.

Did you use a separate piece of nylon for each side or did it cover both sides? Then you trim the nylon and felt loose edges on if any? Thankyou for all your creativity, advice and tutorials! So awesome! ✳️✨ I will be sure to tip and buy you a coffee/treats. Super cool project! I can't wait to try it! 💜💜💜

Thank you so much! I hope you gave it a try. How did it turn out? Yes just the nylon gauze and I trim within the felt, before it is felted. I use separate piece of nylon on each side. I find it is much easier this way :) Thank you for your lovely comment.

@muffsmerino3 ай бұрын
Hi Sandra, yeah unfortunately Sunflower Yellow is now discontinued. I definitely need to catch up on making dye videos. Dharma recommends replacing Sunflower Yellow with Brilliant Yellow because the reformulated version was so similar. I have now tested both yellows in this collection and the colours come out exactly the correct hue, only a bit brighter, clear and more intense. I think doubling the brown or black in the recipe could help tone down the colour if that's the desired look :)

It really depends how soapy your soap is. I usually add soap once I’m done laying out the fibre. It helps the wool to stick together during the layout so it can be helpful to use soap more if you’re a beginner. You want enough so, but not too much :)
