how-to of the day - making silk paper - part six
Do you still like the way your canvas background looks? I like how this one works with the painted silk paper:
I’m going to baste the silk paper onto the canvas using some good quality fabric glue (I’m a big fan of The Ultimate) You don’t have to glue the silk down, but I find it’s easier to have it mounted on the canvas before I start embroidering it.
Make sure to only put glue on the thicker parts of the paper - like this:
If you put glue on the thinner layers of the silk, it will do funny things as it dries - like leaving clear polka-dots! If the underside of the paper is completely opaque, it should be safe to glue.
Let it dry on a flat surface for a couple of hours, or until it’s completely dry.
