Embellishments
Tyvek, when used for multi-media art purposes, comes in two different types:
- A firm structure which is the same type used for envelopes and is generally available in precut sheets of 8 ½” x 11”
- A soft structure which is fabric-like and has a drape and is generally available in 60” wide and sold by the yard.
The main feature of tyvek is its ability to create interesting texture when heat is applied. Heat can be applied by using either a warm iron or a heat tool. The resulting texture can range from mild puckering to burnt holes to total disintegration if too much heat is applied.
Fabric leaves are easy to make and are great embellishments for art quilts, wearable art and other creative projects.
This tutorial will demonstrate how to make a three dimensional leaf using two layers of fabric fused together with fusible webbing.
