Angelina® Heatbondable Fiber
This unique, new, very fine fiber is light reflective as well as light refractive. Angelina is incredibly luminescent, while it has an extremely soft hand. All of the colors below can be bonded together with the application of heat to form a remarkable cloth.
Simply place a small amount of fiber between two sheets of tissue paper. Heat iron to silk temperature setting. Gently, with little pressure, move the iron back and forth, checking frequently on the bonding progress. Be careful not to "fry" the Angelina fiber with too much heat or pressure and a too long dwell time.
Generally, Angelina heat bondable fiber will only adhere to itself and not to other fibers, tissue paper or fabrics, but you can sandwich some other materials between them such as glitter. You can also take tufts of the fiber and fuse just the ends together to use the fiber for hair and other costuming applications.
½ package - .25 oz – of Enchanted Forest was used to make both the wings and the front panel of the dress in the photo to the right. |
