Project of the Week ~ Dryer Sheet Technique

Hi everyone, Deonna here with my Project of the Week making Fabric Softener Sheet Stamped Embellishments. I love this technique and it’s really quite easy, so let’s get started.

Supplies:
2 Used Fabric Softener Sheets
Matte Mod Podge
Craft Sheet or Freezer paper surface
Sponge Brush
Black Ranger Archival ink Pad
Scissors
Brayer (Optional)
Repeat Impressions’ stamps used - Flower Power Separates, 9001-L, Butterfly (lg), 9009-F, Butterfly (sm)
Coloring Media - I used Ink-Tense Pencils to color mine, but you can use anything that you have.

Step 1
Flatten your used fabric softener sheets - I used a mini iron and towel. This may not be necessary if the fabric softener sheets will lay fairly flat on your surface.

Step 2
Take your Mod-Podge and spread it using your foam brush, onto your craft mat. Make sure that you make a place big enough to lay down the first fabric softener sheet onto. Add more Mod-Podge to the top of that layer and add the second fabric softener sheet. Run a brayer over the top to saturate with the fabric softener sheets together. **You may need to add more Mod-Podge to the top of the second sheet. Put aside and allow to completely dry.

Step 3
Once dry, peel off the Mod-Podged sheets starting at a corner and working inward. After completely removed, trim the edges with scissors if needed.

Step 4
Using your black archival ink pad and your Repeat Impressions stamps, stamp directly onto the dried fabric softener sheets. Wait until the ink is dry.

Step 5
Color the images as you usually would. **I’ve chosen to use my Ink-Tense Pencils to color mine.

Step 6
Then fussy cut each butterfly or flower out with scissors. Your embellishments are ready to be used.
