Project #2 INSTRUCTIONS FOR SOY FIBER FELT/ANGELINA FIBERS

 

SOY FIBERS

Soy fibers are a by-product of soybeans and tofu. The process is very fast and easy to do. No pulling, tugging or rolling. Ultimate glue or Textile Medium will hold the soy fibers together .Lay down Bo-Nash Fiberglass Ironing Sheet to protect work surface and have a non-stick surface to work on. Lay soy fiber on top of the Bo-Nash Non-Stick Ironing Sheet. Fluff out pieces by pulling apart. Lay in different directions. Do as many layers and colors as you wish to make it as thick or as thin as you want. Dribble Textile Medium or glue along the outside areas first then add some to the middle section. Using another non-stick sheet cover the top, pat, and spread the liquid into the fibers. (Using your hands will cause it to stick and pull away) If you have not used enough liquid it will not stick together, but you can always add more! Let it dry. After it is dry, remove from the Bo-Nash Non-Stick Ironing Sheet. This can now be used to do great embellishment projects. Use Bonding Agent 007, the powdered fusible to apply to fabric, paper, cardboard, wood. Use your imagination to make the most wonderful projects. Using the Bonding Powder allows the use without stiffness. It stays soft and pliable with the fabric, yet it allows for delicate washing. Use the Bo-Nash Fiberglass Non-Stick Pressing Sheet to apply the soy fiber felt so there is no damage and nothing sticks.  If you find anything sticks to the iron use the Bo-Nash Iron Cleaning Cloths to remove any sticky residue.

 

ANGELINA FIBERS

A creative fiber medium. These come in lots of colors to choose from, made of polyester and acrylic. When heat is applied, they “bond” together. The amount of heat and the length the heat is applied for affect the color. Place some of the fibers in between the Bo-Nash Non-Stick Ironing and Craft Sheet and apply heat. They will bond together. Use as they are for making fantasy fabrics or cut into shapes. They do not bond to anything else unless you use a fusible. Bonding Agent 007, the powdered fusible allows you to apply the fibers to your fabrics and because it stays soft and flexible, there is no build up on your fabric. It is washable on a delicate wash. Angelina fibers can also be used for your other embellishment projects on fabric, paper, tissue and wood. Use your imagination, the possibilities are endless .If you find the fibers stick to your iron, clean it with Bo-Nash Iron Clean Cloths.

 

Both Angelina Fibers and Soy Fiber Felt are great for doll projects.
