Hi! Snowdrops are starting to peek out through the leftover leaves from Autumn, and my Crazy/Art quilt 2020 project is well underway(more info at the end of this post)! So, I've decided to do a springtime bling bling technique that I can use on my blocks!
Angelina fibers are man made fibers that are iridescent and sparkly. They come in film form and fiber form- fusible and non- fusible. For this project I am using fusible film and fusible fibers.
It's a simple technique, and very versatile! In addition to the films I used a 1" flower punch (you can also free cut flowers or use a die cutter), baking parchment and an iron.
Make sure to iron your fibers between sheets of baking parchment- a quick press should do the trick. Don't hold the iron in place too long as the fibers will brown.
I tried a variety of methods.

I tried a variety of methods.
- I cut flowers out of the film and ironed fibers in the middle.
- I blended a couple colors of the fibers, ironed them together and then cut out my flowers.
- I combined fibers and film, ironed them together and the cut out my flowers.
- You can also add things like sequins or glitter before ironing- the fibers then trap these small items into the mix.
These little flowers are great fun- I have already added some to one of my crazy blocks!
