Hello Therm O Web friends, it’s Juliana here with you today sharing a mixed media canvas I created using a variety of Therm O Web Adhesives and DecoFoil. The focus of the canvas is a fancy purple fairy dressed up with a DecoFoil™ crown and wings!
Project Supplies:
Therm O Web iCraft® DecoFoil™ Toner Sheets
Therm O Web iCraft® DecoFoil™ – Purple
Therm O Web iCraft® SuperTape™ 1/2 Inch
Therm O Web 3D White Foam Squares 1/2 Inch
12 inch Foil Laminator
Therm O Web Fabric Fuse Liquid Adhesive
Project Instructions:
To create the wings, I die cut them from Therm O Web DecoFoil™ Toner Sheets. I then cut a piece of Purple DecoFoil and adhered it using a Laminator. The top layer of the wings is die cut from patterned paper. I used the same foiling process to create the crown.
As you can see in this detail photo, I stamped on the DecoFoil crown. I used StazOn Ink, which is a solvent ink that is meant for stamping on nonporous surfaces, making it perfect for stamping on DecoFoil™.
iCraft SuperTape™ was perfect for adhering the tulle and ribbon to create the fairies skirt. I also used the SuperTape™ to adhere the wing layers together at their base and to attach the wings to the back side of the die cut fairy body.
Another great Therm O Web adhesive I used on this canvas was the Fabric Fuse™ Liquid Adhesive. Yes, this adhesive is great for adhering fabric, but it also works well with paper and other embellishments. Because it dries quickly and clear, it worked wonderfully to adhere the chunky glitter and Prills (the small holeless beads).
Last, but not least, I used 3D White Foam Squares to adhere the fairy body and the word/letters to the canvas.
I hope you enjoyed learning more about some great ways to use Therm O Web Adhesives and DecoFoil for your next mixed media projects!
HUGS!
Juliana
