Hello Helmar fans, today my share is a layout created with Fabric and for those who know me they know i am not really a sewing person, I would rather use sewing stamps as actually sew but what I have discovered is that Helmar actually has 2 Fabric glues in their range and they work exceptionally well in crafting.
For my layout I have used fabric for all but the base layer. As you will be able to see from the image below I have scrunched a layer of fabric onto my base layer. I have held this in place using Helmar Fabric Glue.
Then to create my elements for my layout I have used Helmar Fabric Stiffener & Draping Glue to make my leaves for the flowers I cut the leaf shape out of fabric then on the front of the leaf I painted it with an old paint brush with Helmar Fabric Stiffener & Draping Glue then I laid the leaves on to a stick to give some curves to dry. for my flowers i painted them again and placed them onto old small jars to again achieve a curve then when dried layered them up and stuck them together using the Helmar Fabric Stiffener & Draping Glue.
Once I had created all my elements I then proceeded to layer up my cluster on my layout using the Helmar Fabric Stiffener & Draping Glue to hold it all together.
I would say that if you are like me and not a sewer then these 2 products are simply amazing and well worth purchasing, your fingers do get sticky and messy, I believe it is well worth the time and effort.
