Fabric Glue Art
June 14th, 2007 by Jen LoveFor our sweet Joy’s birthday I wanted to give her something that fit with her knitting addiction but for Joy anything plain just won’t do. So I was anxious to try out adding bling with fabric glue.
At the craft store I loaded up on huge pink rick-rack, multi-colored sequins, a velvety iron-on fleur d’ lis patch and fabric glue. I added on the patch and was glad to be able to add to the border of this knitting basket without having to take the basket and its lining apart. I simply turned under the ends of the ric-rack and sewed it vertically, then glued it, on the front and back. Then the fun part- arranging the sequin color order over the black patch. The only problem with the fabric glue was that it was a little stringy when you lifted it away from the fabric, just like using a glue gun. But when the sequins were all in place I just scraped away any excess dry glue with a pin.
It was done in no time and I am looking around now at what else I can glue bling to! The first project will be to decorate the tan knitting basket I bought for myself, then maybe to add color to floral bags I have made on the flowers, then the cat bowl, and my husbands’ briefcase…

I think I have the same project bag! I was thinking it was a little plain, too! LOL I’ll have to think about what I want to decorate it with now! LOVE the idea! Thanks!

Let’s think about, what people will do if have the research papers writing tasks. Commonly, they buy the communication and media essays at the English writing services to work out the writing complications.
