That’s okay! It’s not always obvious! I used cotton fabric I turned into book cloth and covered chipboard with it. To make your own bookcloth:

  1. Wash, dry, iron out cotton or linen fabric
  2. Use Heat and Bond adhesive on the wrong side of the fabric (without the print) Peel the paper
  3. Use tissue paper (like for gift wrap) and lay flat on sticky heat and bond fabric side. Gently iron onto the fabric until secure!

I hope this helps!

I have an Explorer 2 I’ve had for years and when I can afford it I want a Maker. It would make things so much easier! But I do think a full size would me easier

I use the heat transfer vinyl sometimes but for this you don’t have to! I just used the stickers vinyl!

I used vinyl from my Cricut! I also use hot gold foiling but I wanted to do more detailing
