Quick question - Bondaweb and Felt

2 replies

Tangle · 17/11/2011 21:03

I'm trying to make a felt fusion cover for a friend's DD for Christmas. It uses two colours and has appliquéd hearts/flowers on the front. The instructions say to use Bondaweb to attach the appliqué to the front. I have the felt. I have the Bondaweb. But I bought a length of Bondaweb from the shop and it didn't come with instructions...

So... can anyone tell me how hot the iron needs to be for each application and how long to iron it for?

Thanks :)

They're here. For felt I tend to use the wool setting, often with a cloth to prevent scorching. Be v. careful not to get the iron and ironing board all gummed up with the bondaweb adhesive. I've bought a mini ironing board and cheap iron just for this job!

Thanks :)

I managed to get the first "stick" done and some other bits and pieces cut out. My mum gave me one of these so I stuck that over the top. Although being a bit stiffer I did find it less prone to shrivelling into sticky gunk than light weight interface.

Think its a strange combination of nesting and distraction - I seem to have decided that making lots of Xmas presents is a good idea. Which is fine, except this baby should arrive around about Christmas and there's masses of other things that need doing...

Ah well. Guess I won't have much time to be creative next year so may as well make the most of it while I can :o
