These look so great. I have to get to Spotlight to get some iron-on interfacing, then I will make some. Are you using the wax that is sold as "Treasure Gold' to gild? I have that and also plenty of gold acrylic. Maybe I will test both today.
ReplyDeleteHi quirkyartst..yep Treasure gold does all sorts gilds the paper and waxes and colours the threads too
ReplyDeletebut gold paint will do the job just as well
Have fun x
