Well Hello Again
Creatives.
Sarinda here for your
midweek muse or hump day girl.
I truly hope that you are
all enjoying your fall. I know I certainly am. I have a silk scarf tutorial for
you today. This is so crazy easy and I am already thinking about Holiday gifts. I have been taking Tim Holtz Class, Creative Chemistry 102. And I realized that you can use Distress Paints on fabric.
What you will need for
this project.
§ Silk
Scarf
§ Craft
Mat
§ Water
§ Distress
Paint
§ Heat
tool (I prefer Ranger's)
Step 1:
You will want to wet down
your scarf with water so that it is damp, not sloppy wet. Then you will start
to add the Distress paints to the silk scarf. I just blended the colors with my
fingers. Once the colors are where you want them you will want to dry the paint
so that it becomes permanent. Do this with each layer of paint.
Tip: I would fold your
scarf in half when you do this step. So that each end is the same.
Here is how it looks dry.
Step 2:
Lay down your stencil of
choice and dap Distress Black Soot to the background. I used black knowing that
I was going to use lighter colors on top. DRY. Unless you want the colors to
bleed a bit. That can be cool too.
Step 3:
Do the same as above
using a mid tone color or metallic Distress Paint. DRY.
Step 4:
Do the same as above
using a light tone color of Distress Paint. DRY.
This is how one end
looked after I stenciled it.
Congratulations-!! You
have made a wonderful Silk Autumn Scarf.
Honestly, this project
was about a half hour. Take notice how the Distress Paint dried to these
amazing pale colors. How great is that?
Face the Brilliance of
your most wonderful Creations and Dwell on you Dreams.
Cheers-!
Sarinda
