A new fun way to use
Hot Fix crystals and metals!
(Explained Below) |
|
Books are available but by popular
demand I am now offering individual patterns as an alternative to the books.
This way you can purchase just the patterns that you want to create.
Some of these patterns are not even in a book yet Purchasing a book of
patterns is more economical, but only if you would use many of the designs.
The pattern books can bee seen by clicking HERE. |
|
Crystal and Metal kits are also
available for a few of the patterns but not all. The beauty of the Dot
To Dot...Crystal To Crystal technique is that you create the designs in the
colors and material you choose. Kits can't be made for many of the
patterns as you have to select the colors and materials. The kits are listed
below to the pattern (sold separately) if
it is available. |
|
For obvious reasons, these patterns
are not shown at the full size, but the approximate sizes in inches are given under each picture.
Some of the designs will come in two or three sizes on the design card and
the dimensions of each one are listed. |
|
VERY IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ |
|
These are patterns for you to create
your own motifs. These are not pre-made motifs! What fun would
that be! |
|
|
 |
Mylar
Silicone Tape
Mylar (Silicone Tape) is what motifs are created
on. So...when you want to do your own
designs, place the pattern on the design under
the Mylar and place your crystal upside down on
the sticky side of the Mylar...which is placed
over the picture. When you are all done,
turn the design over and iron the whole design
just like any motif. |

I
truly hope that you find this craft fun and easy to do. There is
no need for any tools other than some triangle trays along with the pattern and
Mylar to place the design on. Once you create the pattern in metals or
crystals or a combination of both, all you do is place the entire design on
your fabric and iron it on to whatever
fabric you want...in a matter of minutes. The patterns are great to travel with
as you don't need a lot of supplies and you can work on the project for as
much time as you have then cover it and put it away at any time to wait for
more free time. Please note that there is no embroidery involved with
these projects and are perfect for children to do. You can then iron
the designs on for them.
If
you have an idea for a design that you would like to see in a future volume
of Dot to Dot...Crystal to Crystal, please let me know. If there are
several request for the same thing, you can be sure that it will be in an
upcoming issue. Most designs have been made in both metals and then again in
crystal but, whichever you choose to use, the list of what it will take to
create the design is also listed on the card with the pattern. Many of
the designs are also in two different sizes. Some designs are as small
as 1 inches and then the tree is 9 inches tall.
I
have discovered an easier way to place the crystals and metals and it is
fully described in the books, but basically, all you need it s ball point
pen...even one that has run dry and some bees wax from your local craft
store. Place a small piece of bees wax on the end of the pen and pick
up the crystal...then touch it down to the Mylar. You don't even have
to struggle with tweezers! Tweezers are still good to have on hand if
you need to reposition one or two pieces.
For your convenience, Tweezers, Triangle Trays and Mylar have all been
listed above, but the crystals and metals can be purchased on the following
pages:
Hot Fix
Crystallized™ - Swarovski Elements

Questions &
Answers about the Dot to Dot...Crystal to Crystal series |
|
Do you use hot fix crystals? Yes...hot fix is the
only thing that will work. |
|
I have the Easy Glitzer wand (from Marie Osmond collection), can that be
used? No...when you use Mylar, you use nothing but
your iron. You are not putting the crystals on one by one, instead you are
laying them on the Mylar and then turn the Mylar over onto the fabric and
iron it on all at one time. |
| Can
you tell me what Mylar is and how it works?
Mylar is a clear plastic that is slightly sticky. It is placed over the
pattern and then the crystals are placed on the sticky side, upside down.
The Mylar withstands the heat of your iron. |
|
Does the patterns have a color chart for each design?
Each design is shown in full color in crystals and
then again in metals and a list of exactly what I used to create the design
is listed along with a size chart. Of course that is the beauty of
this way of creating a design. It is in your colors and style. |
|
I would be interested in combining patterns, such as the flamingos, 2 facing
each other. Can the designs be mirrored? In
the book it states that you have the right to make copies of pages for your
use only. This is done for exactly that reason. You can scan and mirror in
your computer or you may even just be able to turn the page over and mirror
from the back. |
