Scrap Shanty Challenge Blog

If you’re like me, then you just loved the Queen & Co. Felt Fusion borders when they were released and had to have them all! However, the first time I went to use a 12″ piece of the cream scroll, it was definitely difficult to get it to lay down on my LO without it sticking to itself and everything else. I persisted and was ultimately successful, but my first venture into using Felt Fusion was absolutely a challenge. Love the look, but Felt Fusion is some extremely sticky stuff!

Since that first time, I’ve learned some techniques for working with Felt Fusion and thought I would share with all of you.

————————-

Tip 1: If using Felt Fusion as a 12″ border, only remove the paper backing and expose the adhesive in select areas. Trust me, exposing the adhesive in just a few areas makes it so much easier to work with this product and the adhesive is so sticky that the border will stay stuck to your LO without any problem.

I tried this trick and have to admit that I found a border of Felt Fusion much easier to work with.

Tip 2: Like I said, this is sticky stuff, so put all that stickiness to work for you by removing the paper backing and laying the border down in loose glitter or fun flock.

I also tried this trick with a small piece of the green leaf border. The glitter stuck to the adhesive back of the Felt Fusion really well and, best of all, there’s minimal shedding of the glitter.

If you use this trick, of course, you will be adhering the Felt Fusion to your LO felt side down. I recommend that you use Ranger Glossy Accents - it worked perfectly to adhere the glittered Felt Fusion to my LO.

Tip 3: Look for opportunities to accessorize Felt Fusion. Consider adding stitching, buttons, brads, bling - the possibilities are endless.

My final tip is to visit the Queen & Co. blog for additional ideas: http://queenandcompany.typepad.com. Two recent tips have been to use Glimmer Mist to color Felt Fusion and to use Felt Fusion to decorate Easter eggs.

I hope you have fun playing with Queen & Co. Felt Fusion!
