Thanks for the link and thanks Sarah – there i didn’t found where to comment.
I have lots of bags with orts!
I knew i could use them for something. I’m not sure if I can get “wallpapper paste” here – I’ve no idea what it is…
Meri, “wallpaper” is what we call the rolls of paper that are used to cover and decorate wall surfaces. Some of these papers have glue that is made sticky by soaking the paper in water. Some do not have glue, so glue must be applied to the back. We call that glue “wallpaper paste.” If you experiment with other products, please let us all know what you use and how your fabric turns out!
