    Hey , what about if I use starch powder with water ? Do I need to add anything in that mixture?

    • @isahferncrochet
      @isahferncrochet  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi! The best way to use starch is to dissolve it in a bóling water.
      Soak the garments/crocheted item and let it dry.
      But note that when you wash it again the starch will be completely washed out.
      Lumps can also be inevitable in using starch. I believe there are also fabric stiffeners (spray) available in the market.

    Hi! Just made a few pairs of crochet earrings and was wondering how to stiffen them and sell for profit. I used mod podge on one earring and I not too please with the outcome. The earring looks dull but it’s stiff. Will glue and water give the same results? Is there a different mod podge I can use? TIA

    • @isahferncrochet
      @isahferncrochet  ปีที่แล้ว

      Mod podge usually gives white residue when it dries. Although a mixture of glue and water is already a diy mod podge I prefer to use this as it gives natural stiffness and natural look also. I suggest you try first to a small sample project and see the result.
      Remember not to put too many glue in a small amount of water.

    • @isahferncrochet
      @isahferncrochet  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Oh, I haven’t actually tried this. But I think it’s best to try dipping a bead and let it dry then see what happens.
      Another way is we can try to dry the beads with a piece of cloth after soaking the entire project so that it will not have a trace of glue when the project dried up.
