Avontuurlijke decoraties op glas en vilt

We hebben ons laten inspireren door India en kleurrijke linten, vilt en glasmozaiek. Linten in verschillende kwaliteiten kunnen op glas worden aangebracht met dubbelzijdig klevend tape of kunnen op vilt worden genaaid met een naaimachine. De tassels zijn gemaakt met mercerised katoen. Het sjabloon voor de olifant kunt u vinden op www.cchobby.nl. De kussens zijn gemaakt van 1,5 mm vilt en de hangende olifanten zijn gemaakt van 3 mm vilt. Gebruik uw fantasie en doe uw voordeel met deze prachtige kleuren.

Cut felt into pillow shapes. Decorate them with loops of Satin Ribbons and Happy Color Ribbons aewed on mashine. Or decorate them with felt elephants sewed on in hand and ribbons across.

Zonnetop

Zon en zomer en vrolijke kleuren worden gecombineerd in deze zonnetop die gemakkelijk door iedereen te maken is. De top is met de “tie-dyed”methode geverfd. De afbeelding is erop getekend met een textielstift.

1.

The top is washed at 40 degrees in the machine before dyeing. Fold the top in pleats and tie with cotton yarn (which is wrapped tightly around several times).

2.

For this top we have used approx. 3.5 liters of water heated to 30-60 degrees in which 350g fine salt is dissolved. Normally, use 1 kg salt to 10 liters of water.

3.

Add the colour. Here we have used approx. 35ml of ES Batik. Normally, use 100ml to 10 liters of water.

4.

Dissolve approx. 70g medium fix in a little water. Normally, use 200g to 10 liters of water. Pour into the dye bath and mix.

5.

Wet the fabric and put it into the dye bath for 30 min. It should float freely. Stir frequently.

6.

Pour out the coloured water and rinse the top.

7.

Cut off the cotton yarn.

8.

Rinse the top until the water is clean and then wash it in the washing machine at 60 degrees.

9.

Draw some palm trees with a fabric marker (remember plastic or something hard between the layers). Draw slowly and do not pull the fabric with the fabric marker.

10.

Sew on small rocaille beads on the neckline and straps.

1

Wash the silk scarf and flush it.

2

Spread the moist scarf out in a tray with plastic.

3

Drip silk colour across the scarf using a pipette.

4

Dab with your fingers so the colour is mixed and divided over the entire scarf.

5

Let the scarf dry.

6

Put water in a pot and put a metal strainer over. Put the scarf into the strainer. Remenber, do not let the water touch the scarf. Keep a lid on and fixate the scarf for 5-10 minutes.

7

Flush out the excess colour.

8

Put the scarf over a piece of lining. The lining needs to be a little bit bigger than the scarf.

9

Pull the wool out into small wisps.

10

Put it on tpo of the scarf in a thin layer. If you want the scarf to be thicker, put an extra layer across the first one.

11

Moist the wool with soapy water.

12

Felt lightly with your hands. Make sure that all the wool are moist.

13

Roll the scarf into the lining. Make sure there is lining around all of the wool, as it will otherwise felt together.

14

When the entire scarf has been rolled into the lining, put a rubber band around the ends including 2-3 places on the roll.

15

Put the roll in the tumble drier at good heat along with a towel. Let it work approx 10 minutes. Roll out the scarf and check if the wool has stuck to the silk. Moist the wool and roll the scarf togehter with the lining once again, though from the other end. Put the roll back into the tumble drier, repeat until the wool is firmly stuck. Finally the scarf can be felted in the tumble drier without the lining. Check often that the scarf don’t delt together. Flush out the soap.
