No-Sew Rainbow Hoodie for Kids
Somewhere over the rainbow ... is another rainbow on a hoodie that's unbelievably adorable and fun to wear in rain or shine! Made with yarn, pompoms and nontoxic Fabric Fusion, there's no sewing required so it's an easy project for the kiddos to get involved in. Our rainbow is featured on a hoodie but you could easily recreate this technique on a T-shirt, tote bag or canvas to make cute wall art! Follow the rainbow this way to creativity ... What you need: - Aleene's Fabric Fusion- Aleene's Stop Fraying- Hoodie – color of choice (or T-shirt, tote bag, etc.)- Thick yarn – rainbow colors- Pompoms – white and blue for clouds and rain- Pencil (optional)- Cardboard or plastic trash bag (for inside of hoodie)- Scissors Make sure your hoodie (or fabric item depending on what you are creating) is clean and dry. Insert a piece of cardboard or a plastic trash bag inside of the hoodie to protect the backside in case any glue seeps through the top layer while you are working. If needed, first use a pencil to lightly draw a rainbow arc on the front of the hoodie. Otherwise, freehand apply a thin line of Fabric Fusion in an arc shape for the top rainbow color. Tip: Less is more when using Fabric Fusion. Applying too much will oversaturate the fabric and cause it to become difficult to glue your yarn to. So make sure to apply a thin line to your hoodie. Measure and cut your first color of yarn to fit glue arc. Press into glue and trim any excess. Continue the process with other yarn colors until your rainbow is complete. Apply Stop Fraying to the ends of yarn strands to keep the yarn from unraveling. Let dry. Use Fabric Fusion to glue white pompoms at each end of the rainbow to create clouds. Glue smaller blue pompoms scattered under clouds like falling raindrops. Let dry completely.

Colorful Christmas Fabric Gift Wrap & Matching Ornaments
Published Date: November 10, 2024 Looking to try something different this holiday season? Up your gift-wrapping game with Tulip! This furoshiki-inspired gift wrap uses fabric that’s been dyed with Tulip One-Step Tie Dye for a totally unique take on Christmas. And bonus: the leftover dye is perfect for making matching ornaments. In this tutorial, we will be using the spiral tie-dye technique with pretty pink shades, but feel free to use your favorite colors and techniques for a more personalized approach. Christmas is about to get even more colorful! Supplies needed Tulip One-Step Tie-Dye Kit in your favorite colors (This project features dye in Wine, Fuchsia, and Orange) Protective Gloves Rubber Bands White cotton fabric, cut large enough to wrap your present Wooden spoon Paper Christmas ornaments Instructions Prepare the dye solution. Before you get started on this project, wash the fabric without fabric softeners. Mix the Wine-colored dye solution in by adding water to the dye bottle up to the fill line. Replace the cap and shake for 1 minute or until the dye is completely dissolved. Pour the Fuchsia-colored dye powder and water into a bowl and stir with a wooden spoon. Dye entire fabric in a large bowl, wringing out the excess dye. Place the fabric into the bowl containing Fuchsia dye. Ensure that the fabric is entirely saturated with dye by moving it around with the spoon. Carefully wring out excess dye and transfer the fabric onto a protected work surface. Twist fabric into a spiral and secure with rubber bands. Pinch the fabric at its center and twist into a swirl. Keep twisting the fabric tightly until the entire piece is formed into a spiral shape. Secure with rubber bands. Apply darker dye onto both sides of the spiral, then wrap in plastic to set. Apply Wine-colored dye onto the spiral, then flip it over and apply dye to the back. Place your project into a plastic bag and let set for 6-8 hours. Once your dye has fully processed, remove the rubber bands and check out your spiral tie dye! Rinse, wash and dry according to the instruction guide. Place your present in the center of the fabric at a 45-degree angle Once you’re done tie dyeing, it’s time to get wrapping! To get started, lay the fabric flat and place your present in the center of the fabric at a 45-degree angle. Fold one corner of the wrap across the gift, then the other. Fold one corner of the wrap across the gift, then the other, tucking the excess underneath if necessary. Pull the other two corners together and tie into a double knot. Pull the remaining two corners of the wrap together and tie into a double knot and add a gift tag for an extra-personalized touch. Your furokishi-inspired wrap is now complete! This reusable fabric gift wrap is a great eco-friendly alternative to paper gift wrap. Try using a variety of techniques and dyes for a colorful Christmas! Dip paper ornaments into dye and allow to dry completely. Don’t ditch that extra dye—use it for custom dip-dyed ornaments! Transfer the remaining dye into small bowls, then dip paper ornaments into the dye. Allow them to dry completely on a wire or plastic rack so that excess dye doesn’t pool. That’s it! Your matching ornaments are now ready for the tree. What other tie-dye techniques will you try for the holiday season? Show us your colorful crafts on social @TulipColorCrafts!

Easy DIY Glitter Fashion Ideas
Glitter is everywhere right now on faces, in beards, and even covering booties (and no, we're not talking about toddler footwear). The easiest way to show off a bit of bling, though, is by decorating your clothing and accessories. Not only will you be of the moment with your bedazzled apparel, but you'll be giving new life to your t-shirts, jeans, hats, and shoes. All you need is fabric glue, glitter or rhinestones, and your creativity. Here are 3 easy DIY glitter fashion ideas. Clothes You can easily add sparkle to just about any of your clothes. Use a stencil to create a personalized quote or design on your T-shirt or jacket, or pattern your items with your own freehand artwork. Another quick and easy idea is to use glitter and glitter glue to enhance your jeans with a bedazzled pocket. Simply apply an adhesive like Aleene's OK to Wash It Glue to your clothing item, sprinkle with glitter, and wait about 24 hours for the glue to dry. (As with all glue projects for clothes, make sure you place a sheet of cardboard, plastic, old magazine, or other waterproof barrier inside the clothing so the glue doesn't soak through and glue both layers of your item together.) Accessories Glitter your entire handbag with leather glue and you'll definitely get noticed. Or add small embellishments with a few dashes of colorful sparkle and spray adhesive. Your imagination's the limit when it comes to what to glitter. And if you're about to graduate, check out how to glitter your graduation cap for a look you will never forget. Shoes Go big or go bigger either way, adding glitter to your shoes will make a total statement. You can give your sneakers a complete glitter makeover or upgrade your sandals with one or more glittery straps. For fancier shoes, cover your heels in sequins, or make like the protagonist of Paul Simon's song Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes with, yes, glitter on the soles of your shoes.

What you need: Aleene’s Quick Dry Fabric Fusion Tulip ColorShot Fabric Spray Paint (Red, Blue) Faux flowers Rectangular wooden door sign Step 1 Before you get started on this project, clean your wooden door sign from any dust and debris. Place your flowers on the board to count how many will fit on your patriotic wreath. Set aside the flowers that will be spray painted. Step 2 Now it’s time to paint the flowers for your patriotic wreath! Be sure to cover your work surface to protect from overspray. Shake can well for at least 1 minute, then hold can 6-8" from your flowers and spray with smooth, even strokes. Shake often during use. Apply one light coat at a time, waiting 5 minutes between coats. Remember, several light coats are better than one heavy coat! Step 3 Repeat with the flowers you set aside to be painted blue. Allow all of your spray painted flowers to dry for at least 30 minutes. Step 4 Finally, it’s time to assemble your patriotic wreath! Apply a small amount of Aleene’s Quick Dry Fabric Fusion to each flower before placing it onto your wooden door sign. Press and hold firmly for a few seconds to secure. Continue to glue your flowers onto the board, with a block of blue in one corner for the “stars” and alternating rows of white and red flowers for the “stripes.” Once the glue has dried completely, your door décor is ready to display!

No-Sew Fringe Clothing DIY with Fabric Glue
Fringe accents are back in a big way, and we’re all about this fun textured trend. From handbags to denim jackets, shirts and home décor, adding fringe to your fabrics is so easy, and you don’t have to know how to sew to make it happen. In this clothing DIY, Annie Papi will show you how to glue fringe to fabric using the Aleene’s Fabric Fusion Dual-Ended Glue Pen! What you need: - Aleene’s Fabric Fusion Dual-Ended Glue Pen - Button-up shirt or desired fabric item - Fringe trim - Scissors - ClothespinsStep 1 If your fabric item is washable (like clothing), make sure it’s been washed and dried without fabric softener before getting started. You’ll want to ensure that anything that could prevent the glue from properly adhering to the fabric has been washed away! Step 2 This clothing DIY really is as easy as gluing fringe trim onto a shirt, skirt, jacket or other item! Measure and cut the length of fringe trim youll need depending on where you will be gluing it. Annie wanted to run fringe across the entire back of her shirt, as well as along the edges of the front pockets. Step 3 Once you have the fringe cut, simply run a thin line of Fabric Fusion along the top edge of the fringe trim, and press in place on your clothing. Remember, less is more with fabric glue. Too much glue can oversaturate the fabric and cause issues with adhering. You can also use clothespins or sewing pins to help hold the fringe in place as it dries. Step 4 Once the glue dries, your fringe is ready to rock. And thats it for this fringe clothing DIY! Such a simple process that makes a fab fashion statement. Step 5 Annie took her fringe top to the rodeo! How are you accenting your outfits and accessories with fringe and Fabric Fusion? Tag us on social @aleenesdiy and share your clothing DIYs with us!
How to Glue Patches on Stretchy Loungewear with Fabric Glue
Most of us are living in loungewear these days, and we can’t say we’re mad about it. Who doesn’t love being comfortable?! But that doesn’t mean we don’t want our loose, stretchy clothes to also be cute. One quick and easy way to give our comfy clothing fun new flair is with patches; and before you tell us you don’t know how to sew patches on clothing, we’ll tell you that you don’t have to know! Crafterward will show you how to glue patches on loose, stretchy clothing with Aleene’s Flexible Stretchable Fabric Glue. What you need: - Aleene’s Flexible Stretchable Fabric Glue - Loungewear - Patches Step 1 To take your loungewear from simple to simply amazing, you only need your favorite patches and a bottle of Flexible Stretchable Permanent Fabric Glue. This glue was designed specifically for stretchy clothing like dancewear, loungewear, knits and more. So you never have to worry about it drying stiff and making your wearables uncomfortable or awkward! Step 2 Before getting started, make sure youve washed and dried your loungewear without fabric softener (especially if its brand new). New clothing has a chemical called sizing on it that can prevent proper adherence of the glue (and fabric softener can do the same thing). Step 3 Lay out the patches on your loungewear to decide where you'd most like them to be. Apply Flexible Stretchable to the back of each patch and press in place on the garment. Let dry completely for about 24 hours. Tip: If you're working with a fitted garment that is stretchy, it helps to place cardboard or something inside the garment to help stretch out the fabric while you glue on the embellishments, so the glue penetrates the fibers properly. Step 4 Once dry, you can put on your loungewear and take it easy in style! Now that you know how to glue patches onto loungewear, what else will you do with Aleenes Flexible Stretchable Fabric Glue? We'd love to see what you're making, so tag us on social @aleenesdiy and share with us!
Quick and Easy Tassel Rug with Fabric Glue
Rugs are a great way to add color, style and comfort to our spaces, but have you ever priced them out? They can be expensive! Save your budget by giving an old rug you already have new life, or upgrading a simple one you snagged on discount with some special additions. In this tutorial, Mikyla Creates will show you how to add fringe and tassels to a rug using Aleene’s Stop Fraying Permanent Fabric Adhesive. It’s a quick and easy way to affordably update your rugs –with no sewing needed! What you need: - Aleene’s Stop Fraying Permanent Fabric Glue- Rug- Tassel trim - Fringe trim- ScissorsStep 1 For this rug DIY, Mikyla decided to layer two different trims – fringe and tassel – for added interest and texture. For your rug you can do the same, or use just one kind of trim, or experiment with others!Step 2 Measure and cut the trims to fit along the sides of the rug you'll be adding them to. (You can do all sides or just opposite sides.) Apply a small amount of Stop Fraying to each end of the cut trims to help prevent them from fraying in the future. (This could happen with any wear and tear over time when moving your rug, vacuuming or walking across it.) Let dry. Step 3 Next flip the rug over so the underside is facing up (since youll be gluing the trim to the underside edge). Apply a line of Stop Fraying along the edge of the rug and press the first trim in place over the glue. Repeat this for all of the sides you are applying trim to. Tip: If you are applying two trims like Mikyla, make sure the trim you want on top when the rug is right side up is the first trim you glue in place. Step 4 For your second trim (if adding), apply Stop Fraying over the top of the base edge of the first trim, or directly behind it on the rug. Press the second layer of trim in place over the glue. Let dry completely before flipping the rug back over. Step 5 Didn't we say it would be easy to update a rug with trim? So simple, and so fabulous, right? Step 6 Were pretty certain everyone in the family will love your new tassel rug,even your furry family members! How would you update a rug with Aleenes?

So grab your glue and felt, and get ready to deliver the sweetest DIY couples costume your friends and family have ever seen this Halloween! Signed, sealed, delivered! What you need: - Aleene’s Quick Dry Fabric Fusion- White T-shirt dress- Felt – white, red, pink, blue - Scissors- Black fabric marker- Pencil- Ruler- White elastic- Light blue collared shirt- Navy shorts- Navy ball cap- Messenger bag- Stamp template (download from this post)Step 1 To get started on the Love Letter Costume, first print and cut out the stamp pattern from this post. Trace the stamp pattern onto white felt and cut out. Step 2 Trace the heart onto red felt and the rectangle onto pink felt, then cut each out. Step 3 Center and glue the pink rectangle onto the white stamp cutout, then glue the red heart in the center of the pink rectangle. Let dry. Step 4 Measure and cut out 2-inch wide by 6-inch long rectangles from red and blue felt. Line up your rectangle strips tilted at an angle as shown along the bottom edge of your dress hem, with the left corners extending past the hem. This will give you a better idea of how to cut them to fit the dress. Step 5 Mark each rectangle along the bottom where the dress hem aligns, using your ruler to help guide you. Measure about 4 inches up from the hem and mark each strip of felt along the 4-inch line as well. Step 6 Cut off the ends of your rectangle strips along the tops and bottoms where marked. Step 7 Glue each strip in place on the bottom of the dress using Quick Dry Fabric Fusion. Glue the felt postage stamp on its side parallel to the strips, with the top of the stamp oriented close to the right side of the dress. Step 8 Use your ruler and fabric marker to create 3 horizontal straight lines on the dress underneath the stamp. Step 9 Create a vertical line to the left side of the 3 horizontal lines. Step 10 Write out a cute name and address on the lines underneath the stamp. Step 11 Write out a sweet love note on the other side of the vertical line, like you would do on a postcard. Step 12 Cut a small rectangle and triangle from the white felt, making sure the base edge of the triangle matches the long side of the rectangle. Glue in place to create an envelope with a flap, then glue a small red heart as the envelope seal over the point of the flap. Glue onto a piece of elastic to create a headband. Step 13 And the Love Letter part of your DIY couples costume is now complete! Step 14 The other half of your DIY couples costume is the Mailman! Create and cut out 3 rectangles, as well as 3 triangles with the bottom edges the same length as the rectangles. Glue the triangles to the rectangles to create envelopes with flaps. Step 15 Cut out 3 small red hearts to create seals for the envelopes and glue in place over the points of the flaps. Glue one onto the ball cap, one on the shirt, and the last one onto the messenger bag. Let dry completely. Step 16 Repeat creating a love letter envelope and attaching to elastic if you have a pet you want to include in your DIY couples costume set! How PAWSITIVELY adorable!

The Easiest Way to Design Your Own T-shirt
You don’t have to be a trained pro to design your own T-shirt; it’s totally easy with the Tulip® DIY T-Shirt Design Kit! A.V. Does What shows you how to create a fabulous T-shirt that fits your vibe with this all-inclusive kit that features an LED Tracing Pad, patterns and permanent fabric paints. All you need is a T-shirt to get started on your DIY fashion adventures! What you need: - Tulip DIY T-Shirt Design Kit - Light-colored T-shirt - Cardboard cut to fit inside shirt - Cup of water (to clean paintbrush) - Tape Your Tulip DIY T-Shirt Design Kit comes with everything you need to easily create your very own T-shirt, including some fun patterns to choose from. Use a light-colored, prewashed and dried T-shirt for best results, then pick out your pattern. A.V. went with this happy quote art design for her shirt! PS. This kit can also be used with other fabric items, not just T-shirts. As A.V. says, “If you can trace on it, you can use it. Tote bags also make a fabulous choice.” To create your design on your T-shirt, turn on the LED Tracing Pad; use the power button to adjust the brightness setting needed for you to easily light up the pattern through the top layer of your T-shirt. Tape your chosen pattern to the LED Tracing Pad and place inside your shirt. Use the included Fabric Marker to trace over the pattern, directly onto the fabric. Let the ink dry before moving on to the next step. Before you start painting in your design, remove the LED Tracing Pad and insert a piece of cardboard between the layers of your shirt to create a stable painting surface. This also helps to prevent any paint from soaking through to the back of shirt. The fabric paints in your kit can also be mixed to create new colors! Get creative and have fun customizing the design to make it truly your own. Once you’re happy with your painted design, let it dry completely (for at least 4 hours or more). The paints will dry permanent, soft and flexible on your shirt so it’s still comfortable to wear! Once dry, you can remove the cardboard and get ready to show off your design skills to friends and family. See how easy it is to design your own T-shirt? Try adding designs to other fabric items, or even creating custom gifts for the upcoming holiday season! Who wouldn’t love a personalized shirt or tote, made specially by you?!
