Super🎈

@dwnnnk Месяц назад

Thanks for the tutorial. I was wondering if this would work the same when using darker yarn, I mean would it make it lighter in any way?

@Crochetpedia Месяц назад

if the starch doesn't contain bleach, it won't affect the color, but read the packet carefully before using :)

@el-bheekay6959 Год назад

Hi, please if you soak this back in water, would it soften back?

@Crochetpedia Год назад

yes, it should :) just wash it and it will become soft again. it may not be as soft as in the beginning, but still.

@annepakrasi8994 10 месяцев назад

Is this to be starched everyone we wash. Because at some point it will get dirty

@Crochetpedia 10 месяцев назад

well, every washing will make it a little bit softer, so yes, at some point you will need to use starch again. It depends on how gently you clean it, or if you soak it. If it looses the shape, it has to be stiffened again.

@heehee101s 6 дней назад

If these are washed will this have to be redone?

@Crochetpedia 3 дня назад

yes, they will soften and may loose shape, especially if we're talking about lacy ornaments or decors! Stiffening is used mostly for projects that don't need washing.

@GeminiAngel52863 Год назад

What kind of starch gel did you use plz?

@Crochetpedia Год назад

hi! I live in Central Europe now, so I used some local one, granulated. Please look for craft starch in craft and yarn shops in your area, or online, and prepare it accordingly to the instructions on the package.

@donnathompson6694 Год назад

They r all beautiful.❤

@donnathompson6694 Год назад

What type of yarn did u use? Thread?

@Crochetpedia Год назад

@@donnathompson6694 yes it's a thread, something like Scheepjes Maxi Sugar Rush will be great

@sakrira 7 месяцев назад

You can use simple corn (or other) starch from the food section (won't have bleach in it, of course). Or mix equal parts sugar and water (heat it up), and like with starch soak your work in it, then block it and let it dry.

@amyrad4145 Месяц назад

Is it gelatin powder ?

@Crochetpedia Месяц назад

it's starch :)

@Woodspiritsoul 8 месяцев назад

Dear, this tutorial is rather useless since you don't mention quantities.

@Crochetpedia 8 месяцев назад

Hello :) the quantities depend on what kind of stiffening solution you use and how stiff you want them to be. you can start with 1 cup of water with 1 tbsp starch and see if the thickness works for you :)
