[@sheliadeshotel1110]

Fabulous! Exactly what I was hoping to find. Thank you!

[@pchaplin8158]

I am so glad you shared this. I learned something new. Thanks

[@janelgoolsby2135]

I knew there was a better way! Thank you so much ❤

[@kchristmas]

This was amazing! Especially for someone like me who is not a crafter :)

[@kas9488]

Thanks for this great tip i had no idea i could use wax paper for this 🥰

[@wildolive]

Freezer paper is different from wax paper. This has a dull paper on one side and a shiny coating on the other.

[@WendyCraig-j2m]

great idea!

[@platanous]

Insane!! Thank you!

[@evitaevita98]

Just what I was looking for! Thank you!!

[@wildolive]

I'm so glad it was helpful!

[@industrialsewingmachinerepair]

Have you ever tried to use a printer to get the pattern on the freezer paper or have you only traced it by hand?

[@wildolive]

Yes! I actually have a video showing how I do that process!

[@ducky72la]

Thank you.....so very much.....does it leave the fe!t sticky as it's not for applique ...it's for a little rabbit?.. You explain and show to make it so attainable when you don't have a clue how to.😃

[@wildolive]

It doesn’t leave the felt sticky at all! I will say that depending on the felt, it can pull at the fibers a little, but ironing the felt fixes that immediately. By the way, wool or wool blend felt are best for this.

[@ducky72la]

Thank you so much

[@ducky72la]

It worked.....hurraaaah...and I used the Freezer paper a second time....no felt was lifted off and no residue left....EXCELLENT TIP..thank you

[@wildolive]

@@ducky72la Yay! And you found out something that I only recently learned...that the freezer paper can be used more than once. I wish I had known that long ago!

[@rhondacraig9955]

Can you use parchment paper if you don't have freezer paper

[@wildolive]

Unfortunately not. The reason freezer paper works is because one side has a plastic-like coating and that’s what temporarily adheres to the felt.

[@barbieshelf]

Fantastic!

[@miriamnahom3963]

Smart!!

[@karenkoutsoumbaris6308]

So you are talking about felted wool?

[@wildolive]

I almost exclusively use wool blend felt, but as long as you use a lower temp on your iron, you can do this with other types of felt too.

[@eyeonart6865]

how to fan fold 1mm stiff felt so they all folds come out the same.

[@wildolive]

Hmm, I haven't tried this ever, but I would probably try using a ruler as a guide, working back and forth, and making the folds over the edge of the ruler. That way you can actually measure the depth of each fold. Good luck!
