MIXED TYVEK PACK - Contains:

• 4 A4 sheets Tyvek 55gm
• 4 A4 sheets Tyvek 75gm
• 2 A4 sheets Tyvek Fabric

This is the ideal way if you want to try experiment with different Tyvek weights and materials. 

Tyvek fabric is soften than the Tyvek Paper but otherwise has the same characteristics.  It will still harden when heated but not quite as hard as the paper.  It is a synthetic fabric which will shrink and bubble when heated to give amazing effects to your work.  Also used for creating unusual background effects and toppers for cards.

INSTRUCTIONS:
1.  Cut your Tyvek with ordinary scissors (it is virtually impossible to tear by hand) and then colour it on both sides - do one side and allow it to dry before turning over to do the second side.  You can colour the Tyvek with Fabric Paints, Felt Tip Pens etc.

2.  If you are stitching into your Tyvek do it before you heat it (it gets harder when heated and whilst you can do enhancements by hand after heating it is too hard to machine successfully once heated).  Be careful with your choice of threads as synthetic threads could melt when the heat is applied.  Whilst the Fabric is softer than Tyvek Paper it could be stitched after heating - but as it is hard it is easier to do it before heating.

3.  Place the Tyvek between 2 Teflon sheets and iron lightly and the Tyvek will bubble and distort.  Using a heat gun on the Tyvek (with the Tyvek on a Teflon Sheet) will create a more bubbled and three dimensional effect.  (Teflon sheet is available in my e-bay shop).  Allow to cool before removing from the Teflon.

4.  If you have coloured the piece with Fabric Paint the application of the heat will have also set the colour permanently.

I offer postage discounts - if you are buying several items across different product ranges you will need to buy the items, but do not pay for them.  Let me combine the invoice to reduce the postage as E-bay does not automatically take into account discounts across different products.

We ship all orders within 3 working days of their receipt. We state 3 days to cover the unexpected however in practice we despatch 95% of our orders the same day they are received (providing it is a normal working day - Mon-Fri) or at latest the next working day. See my feedback for verification.
