This autumn decor project (suitable for year-round display) is perfect for using up scraps and good for beginners. What makes it "sparkling?" For this tutorial I used a brand new product - HeatnBond Sparkle Paste by Jennifer Long of Sew a Story. If you are familiar with my projects, then you know that I am not necessarily a "glitter or sparkle" type of girl...but this product has changed my stance! This magical paste can be applied with a paintbrush or a palette knife to add sparkle and shine to ANY fabric or felt…and after curing, it won’t flake off. I now *need* Sparkle Paste in all 14 colors - seriously. It applies so easily and you can control exactly how much glittery shine you want. I applied the Sparkle Paste to the sunflower petals and that added shine is PERFECTION. I hope you will stop by the Therm O Web blog and check out my project and tutorial...
This is an easy, fall project that can definitely be a scrap buster...make it as planned or as scrappy as you like! It combines easy appliqué shapes on a solid background. For this post, I used HeatnBond Sparkle Paste, HeatnBond Pressing Paper, HeatnBond Lite EZ-Print Iron-On Adhesive Sheets, HeatnBond Fusible Fleece and SpraynBond Basting Adhesive Fabric Spray. Visit the tutorial post for a complete and detailed supply list.

This is such a darling wall hanging project that you created, dear friend. The fabrics are so pretty and how fun to use a new product. xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteLove this quilt - who doesn’t love Kansas sunflowers?? And the sparkle is a clever new product. I think it would be great to accent a snowy area in a winter or Christmas piece. Can’t wait to try it out soon - thanks for highlighting it!
