(1)
Over
Non-Stick
Craft
Sheet, stamp images on silk scarf with clear embossing ink.
Cover with Clear Embossing Powder; shake off excess.
(2)
With
Craft Tool, emboss images. Make sure it is over the Craft
Sheet, as the heated embossing powder will go through to the
other
side, and will easily peel off the non-stick surface of the
Craft Sheet!
(3)
Prepare
your work surface and you for coloring the silk (remember
this is a dye that works on fabric, so wear a protective smock/apron
and gloves!). Lay scarf onto the Craft Sheet; lightly spray
various colors of Color Wash onto fabric. If there any areas
you want lighter, just spritz with water, which will create
lighter tones and colors.
(4)
Place
silk between two sheets of newsprint. With iron on highest
setting,
begin to iron over newsprint.
(5)
Continue
ironing until you can see all of your embossed images transferred
into the newsprint.
(6)
Begin removing the newsprint. This can be tricky
at first, because you need to slowly peel away the paper
on the one side so it does not cool again and stick to the
fabric! Do this by ironing a section at a time, peeling
the paper away as your iron.
(7)
Turn
scarf over and iron to remove the second piece of newsprint,
following the above steps.
(8)
Heat
set
these inks by putting the fabric on highest setting in
a clothes dryer for approximately five (5) minutes (closely
monitor
this!) or use a travel steamer. Once scarf is heat set
rinse in bucket of cold water. Note: for more
color intensity, add a capful of white vinegar to bucket
of cold water and rinse. Wring out excess water and let
it air dry in a ball (when it dries it will leave unique,
permanent wrinkles and texture).
