Perfect End Thread Burner
End the fray! The Thread Burner is perfect for stopping frayed ends of thread on embellishments, peyote stitch, or anywhere raw ends need to be eliminated. Cuts and cauterizes! The tip heats to red hot at the touch of a button and melts synthetic threads and silk so that they don't unravel. Once the button is released the filament is cold. No more need to candle fabric edges, use the Thread Burner instead. Powered by one AA battery (included).!

Seam Strengthening Technique

Taught by Judy Skeel and Gloria “Mimi” Winer


Because Grrrip Glue is a little stretchier than other white glues when dry, it is the perfect substance for strengthening any seam in a doll body, particularly those subject to extra stress and blowouts such as the fingers and the center seam of the face. 

  1. Transfer the Grrrip Glue into the applicator bottle.

  2. Apply a tiny line of glue directly onto the thread line.  Don’t use a lot, but be sure it is a continuous line from wrist to wrist going along all the fingers. This is also how you repair a clipped a thread from trimming the fingers.

  3. With your thumb lightly apply pressure on the thread line and pull away to the edge of the seam allowance to spread the glue. This will make a thin coating of glue embedded into the fibers to strengthen the seam allowance that will still have a little “give” when turning and stuffing. Repeat for the second side.



  4. Allow the fingers to dry before trying to turn them so you don’t glue them closed!

  5. Follow the same steps for the center seam of the face and you’ll be amazed at the difference this makes in strengthening the seams and helping the center face seam to be less obvious.

Pavercotton – 50 Gram Bag

PAVERPOL

Dip materials such as cotton, paper towels, silk, wool, linen– almost anything except plastic - into this transparent substance and they will dry rock hard. Natural materials work best because the fibers absorb the Paverpol. Synthetics such as chamois leather, self-hardening clay, polystyrene foam, dried flowers, wood, plaster, pottery, etc. also work, but the product is not absorbed into the fibers, it lies on top. You can harden and get the materials to hold the shape you want, but you may have to add another coat for strength after it dries.

Paverpol dries fast, but slowly enough to allow plenty of working time. Create beautiful art pieces or sculptures that can be displayed indoors or outdoors. Garden objects do not need to be varnished unless they are painted with acrylic paints. Easy to wash off hands with warm water.

In its liquid state, Paverpol cannot be allowed to freeze. During the winter months, we will carefully monitor shipment temperatures to delivery areas. We will not ship on days when the temperature is below freezing along the route path of the package. This policy will help us maintain the quality and deliver the best performing product to you.

FOR CUSTOMERS OUTSIDE THE USA –  PLEASE GO TO WWW.PAVERPOL.COM TO LOCATE THE DISTRIBUTOR IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY.

Creative Paperclay®

Creative Paperclay

 

This unique air hardening modeling material requires no firing in a kiln or baking in an oven. Clean, odorless and easy to use, it feels similar to earthen clay; however, it contains no clay in it at all!  It can be sculpted, molded or shaped while it's moist and it accepts and retains fine details. It adheres easily to wood, canvas, and most surfaces without glue!  Lightweight and durable, it may even be carved or sanded after it has hardened.

 

Dried Creative Paperclay® can be painted with any kind of paint; it's just like painting on wood or paper. If you prefer, water based paint may be kneaded into the Paperclay® while it's still moist. We recommend protecting your finished projects by sealing them with a coat of lacquer or varnish.

Available in 8 oz. $6.95 or 16 oz. Size $11.95
