I'm quite pleased with the Sew-in Vilene/cotton combo ....
... and the wadding/deco weight combo.
There are a few more variations I want to try, but need to order more supplies!!
But one question I want to ask:
Acetone (nail polish) is great for removing excess glue from silver metal frames, but stains the gun-metal finished ones! Anyone know of an alternative substance I could try, that won't leave a mark?
Framed Purses Saturday Workshop:
21st September, 10am - 4pm (places available)
Gorgeous pursee, what glue are you using? I've always been able to remove glue (once dry) with just my fingernail...
ReplyDeleteOoh I so wanted to do this class, but I'm away camping with the cubs...yay! Really pretty purses :)
ReplyDeleteI have used fingernails too. You could try taping the frame with masking tape beforehand - it is what Lisa at U-handbags recommends though I haven't tried it myself.
ReplyDeleteLovely purses Judith, I was totally useless at making these.
ReplyDeleteThese look lovely - I am so excited about this class. I have wanted to learn to do this forever! I know that Lakeland sell a product called sticky stuff remover which is reputed to be very good, but unfortunately I don't know if it works. Furniture polish works on some adhesives too but maybe more the kind of sticky label residue type. Not v helpful am I?
ReplyDeleteooo! I really like the idea of a home dec weight purse. That would be wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYup, I'm a thumb nail scratching away at it person too. Sorry, no help at all.
ReplyDeleteboth gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteI use my nails on the glue, it should just peel off...
ReplyDeleteI didn't know nail varnish remover stained the gun metal frames but I've only used nail varnish remove to wipe off the odd bit of glue from fabric. I'm a nail scratcher with frame glue normally.
ReplyDeleteLove these purses.If there are still places, I would love to join in.
ReplyDeleteI am a nail picker, way to scared to add fuel to the mess! A quick scrape and polish always works. Your samples are lovely xxx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous purses Judith
ReplyDeleteLovely purses Judith. I am definitely a nail picker but white spirit works a treat too. Di x
ReplyDeleteI use the contact glue that you put on both sides. It comes off real easy, but sticks to itself with a strong bond. Think it's by evo
ReplyDeleteThose purses are just gorgeous and so cute Judith. Have a great weekend Marie x
