I wrote a tutorial for Splitcoaststamper’s on how to make a crinkled flower by heat embossing sheer ribbons and fabrics.
Who knew that tulle and lace would melt and crinkle, too! Isn’t this flower just shab-a-licious!!
I had so much fun experimenting with different fabrics and ribbons. I think the secret may be a high polyester content?
What have you got that can be melted and crinkled into a flower?
Happy Crafting!
