Uses for Glitterati Film & Fiber
Basic Fusing:
This technique requires an iron set at a medium heat setting with
NO STEAM. Take a very small amount of fiber and separate the strands and
spread them on a piece of regular printer paper. Cover with another piece of
paper and iron for 2 seconds. Peel off the top layer of paper to reveal the
fused fibers.
Hot Techniques:
Cut, stamp, punch fused fibers. Stencil or paint to embellish
further.
Thicker fused pieces can be stitched or shaped into 3D objects.
Take small pieces of discarded fused fibers and cover in UTEE/Opal, etc. and
heat.
Embed pieces in resin.
Crumple or fold film and dip into UTEE powder to create diachronic ‘opals’.
Mix with Filigree Fluid and iron heavily on a Teflon sheet to make a frosted
fabric that can be stitched, punched, stamped, painted, etc.
Cold Techniques:
Add to papermaking vats
Layer into silk-fusion papers
Laminate onto ceramics, cards, and papier-mâché
Use as hair or costumes for art dolls
Knit, crochet, weave or embroider into projects
Laminate
Use in tassels, beads and jewelry
polymer clay and shrink plastic projects
deep-embossing inclusions
