OOOOH! Right! Great idea on the bead hole shaping. I made my first one earlier today based on what I saw using straws. I don't ever have straws around so I made a paper tube supported by a tube turning tool for straps and things like that . I used glue then thread to secure. Applying heat to synthetics is a brilliant idea! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Barbara, I too never have straws. I like your paper tube idea, I will give it ago myself. This idea could also work glueing interfacing perhaps?... now you have got me thinking. I am going to have to go and play. Thanks for your comment - happy crafting.
@@TextilesEastFair I made another one using scrap timtex interfacing that I sewed closed over the same tubing. It was a great material for this because it held shape beautifully. I then layered my silks and sequins and thread and beads and all the things. I'm just loving this idea for using up the last little bits of my favorite fabrics. Thanks for so much inspiration!
Sometimes it can unravel but I put a stitch in those to help. On the whole I have found they do shrink away from the heat and the layers melt together. I have not yet had them sticking to the metal knitting needle this may be because the needle heats up too and the fabric pulls away fusing into the top layers. The heat does not tend to travel too far up the needle to cause any scorching of fingers, but worth bearing it in mind that any heat source can cause injury.

Doesn't the inside unravel? Or does it heat up so much that it melts inside too? And in that case, why doesn't it stick to the knitting needle?

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
It would sure be nice if someone would sell a bundle of meltable fabric scraps, right? :)
Where are you? We can sort something if you like.
