  • Here's a great instructional video on how to make a glue, water, and flour mixture to dip fabric and crocheted or knitted objects in to stiffen them so they can hold their shape.

    very interesting video. I believe I will mix the flour and water in a blender, then add the glue. That should quickly and easily eliminate the flour lumps. Thanks for this great tip/technique.

    Thank you so much for this! My dad is making a model ship and needs stiffened fabric for the sails. This looks like the perfect method!

      I'm a lot late, but he could try a product called Paverpol. Dip fabric in, arrange as you like as it dries. Hard enough to use outside (as in sculptures etc). Also waterproof.

      @Alan Rudy I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now.
      Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

    Loved the video! Which glue did you use? Can I use white glue/german glue for my crochet basket, it is pretty big

    • @alisonhuffman
      @alisonhuffman  Před 7 lety +1

      Maryam Essam I used an Elmer's glue-all, which is usually a little thicker and stronger than the typical white school glue because it doesn't break apart in water as easily after the glue mixture dries. Most white glue that dries clear should work though

    I also make bowls. I do other kinds of art and love To see other artist work. I just went to your Etsy sight and you do have some lovely work for sale. I wanted to ask you how stiff are your bowls once dry.? And if I wanted to make a small amount -say 1 cup - for 1 item could that be done? Also could this mixture be brushed onto a fabric bowl that is set in a mould first?
    You are very creative. I'm impressed.

    Hey would this work on stiffening up a guitar strap end? Specifically where the strap meets the strap button on a guitar?

  • @SusieBee683
    @SusieBee683 Před 7 lety

    I'm making a small project that needs the "rope" stiffened. The rope is actually a crocheted chain of triple thickness, and is about 4 feet long. I do not need a large amount of stiffening agent. Do you have measured amounts that could be either reduced or increased as needed?

  • @thegirlintheshadows4868

    How stiff does this method make the fabric? Like how much would it take to bend it?
    NEED TO KNOW!

    • @alisonhuffman
      @alisonhuffman  Před 7 lety

      The Girl In The Shadows it depends on how thick your water/flour/glue mixture is. You can make the fabric end up stiffer by using less water and a bit more glue.

    After the bowls dry can they be washed?

    • @alisonhuffman
      @alisonhuffman  Před 5 lety +1

      No, glue is still relatively water soluble after it is dried. If you want to be able to wash it or get it wet, you would probably have to dip or coat your bowl in a thick two-part epoxy resin or something else that won't break down with water.

    is it able to do this without flour ?

    • @alisonhuffman
      @alisonhuffman  Před 6 lety

      Angie Ng technically you can dip things in just glue to make it stiffer, but it may end up a lot more brittle. The flour and water help make things a little more flexible when they're dry, and they seem less likely to crack if the object you stiffen is bent after the glue dries
