Good Fortune Hearts......Prep Work




We are preparing for a new class

Good Fortune Hearts


The P2P instructors are gathered around

the work table...



Nancy prepared class samples



















 We will be creating pre-fused stitch paper today:












The release paper is peeled back... to reveal the fused paper



Nancy painted cheese cloth for us to work on:


Painted with Setacolors









We applied diluted glue on top of the cheesecloth






We ripped tissue papers and pressed them on top of the glue






A brush helps press the papers down into the wet glue






Yes.....this is FUN!












Diluted Mod Podge is applied on top of the wet tissue papers






After this is dry, a layer of fusible 

will be ironed to the back side.


This fusible stitch paper will be used to create 

Good Fortune Hearts
