This shopping bag is decorated with stencil prints made from uniq pearl paint with a metallic finish. This is a special paint for textiles which has a strong opacity and gives a great effect.

1. Decorate the shopping bag using a foam stencil brush dabbing it with uniq pearl textile paint in different colours. Unleash your imagination and create your own design. Let it dry.

2. When the paint is dry, fix the design with a warm iron.

An Elastic Bracelet with Neon Beads

A bracelet with a fluorescent look. This simple bracelet is made from neon beads in different colours which are threaded onto a piece of elastic beading cord. Finish by tying a few reef knots.

1. Thread neon beads onto a doubled over piece of flat elastic beading cord.

2. Finish the row of beads with four or five tight reef knots; i.e. alternately, starting with a knot with the cord at the top.

3. Cut off the ends of the cord as close to the reef knots as possible. Hide the ends inside the nearest bead.

Screen Stencil Prints in Embroidery Frames

The motifs in the embroidery frames are made with textil color fabric paint and screen stencils on tea towels.

1. Place the screen stencil onto the tea towel with the adhesive side face down.

2. Saturate the paint roller with textil color fabric paint. Roll the paint roller onto and over the screen stencil and a print will appear on the tea towel.

3. Remove and wash the screen stencil in lukewarm water immediately. Let the screen stencil print dry for the recommended time stated on the textil color packaging. Then fix the motif with a hot iron on the setting required for cotton (this is normally written on the iron).

4. Draw a circle, approx. 22 cm in diameter with the motif in the center and trim the circle. You may use a pair of compasses.

5. Place the circle with the motif onto the inner ring of the embroidery frame. Press the outer ring down over the inner ring and tighten the tension screw.

6. Trim the edge – all the way around – and hang the embroidery frame using a piece of embroidery yarn.
