Another brilliant tutorial with buttons! I had never heard of this fabric stiffener. I'll have to try it out for a fabric origami project that I've used before. Thank you!

really cool. I like the idea. I've got masses of fabrics lying about. Now I know what I can do.

Linda -

You can't really fold the fabric after it's been stiffened and dried.
And trying to do origami folds while it's wet will be too challenging
(I think.)

What I would do instead is finish the origami piece, and then brush
stiffener over it.

I'd recommend starting with large squares of fabric and they should be
as lightweight as possible. You might spray a little spray starch on
them and iron them first - this will help the fabric hold creases.

Interesting idea - good luck!

I love this idea! These are just beautiful in the fabrics you have chosen.

And I love that you are posting tutorials again! Especially now that Christmas is less than 100 days away! This one has so many holiday possibilities!
