No Sew Velvet Ribbon Scarves
Materials
1-1/2 yards 4" wide Hot Potatoes acetate/rayon velvet ribbon
Hot Potatoes Rubber Stamps
Two 4" pieces of beaded trim
1/4" Red Line double stick tape
Iron
Mister bottle with tap water
Scissors
Steps:
1. Remove the wire from both edges of the ribbon. This is easily done by
pulling on an exposed end of the wire.
2. To emboss the velvet: Lightly mist the wrong side of the velvet
ribbon. Place the stamp image rubber side up on your work surface or ironing
board. Lay the ribbon right side down against the stamp image. Now press the
iron (set on high or cotton) to the fabric and press down. Count to twenty
and lift iron up carefully. If there is any dampness press again, but never
touch or move fabric. Hold the iron over the entire stamp surface and avoid
letting the steam holes hit the
design areas. They will make an impression as well. To avoid this you can
place a press cloth or even tin foil or paper where steam holes might
interfere with the design.
3. Turn each raw end of the ribbon up 1/2" and then 1/2" again. Secure
this hem to the scarf with a strip of 1/4" Red Line double stick tape.
4. Apply another strip of double stick tape to the beaded trim pieces and
attach the trim to the hems, on the backside of
the scarf.
