Put the velvet *face up* on a spongy type mat. Place the thing *face down* on the velvet. Cover it with that paper or the silicon mat. PRESS the iron FIRMLY onto the paper/silicon piece, that is covering what you're tying to make a mark with. I think that will work.
Right? Just make sure you have thr right kind of velvet. Some of the modern bought fabrics don't hold the impression. If you're a thrifter or tag-saler look for old dresses.
this is working beautifully ! Pls , i would like to know what are the liquid you spray before hand ? if it's only water, what I can add to the water , or instead, to make the manipulation permanent. thank you.
I was using only water. If your impression is not permanent it may be type of velvet you're using? This processed worked better on older velvet fabrics. The iron burned the pattern into the fibers better. Newer and micro velvets don't seem to take as rich a "print"
Hi! Thank you for the video! What is the plastic you used to make the stencil, and its thickness? I'm looking to make a bigger pattern to repeat on large yardage of fabric, and that looks like something that might work?
Wow, I hadn't seen this before and it looks stunning. It opens up new possibilities for crafting. Thank you 1000 times for showing me ❤️

Love the beautiful impressions you are getting on the velvet! Thank you!
Oh thank you! I am such a sucker for soft luxurious fabric.
Wow they look fabulous! I'm wondering if metal dies would work too. I will experiment. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! Now that's a great idea! Please report back if you try it!

@@sparkbirdstudios thank you so much for your answer. i would like to try on silk .
Love it! I was wondering if I could use a wider range than my stamps. I'm off to audition my earrings and brooches!
I hope some of them made the cut! This is one of those projects that's hard to stop once started - as long as you have the right kind of velvet

Hi!! So sorry I didn't see your question! I used 1/8 plexiglass
do the mini craft irons get hot enough to do the smaller edges?
I'm not sure. I've never used one but that's a great idea.
