Here's what you do: take some of the fibers and place or sprinkle them where you want them to go. Then, using some kind of non stick pressing surface below and above (I'm pretty sure we used parchment paper and it was fine, you can also use a teflon pressing sheet, like you'd use for fusible things), you press it. I'm pretty sure you don't have to press for long because it melts/fuses fairly quickly. Let it cool for a moment before you peel off the parchment. Also, if you press only on a section of it, some of the other fibers can hang loose and fluffy and it gives a nice effect.
Main advice - don't let your iron or your surface touch it directly. It will stick! Happy experimenting!
show us how to use the angelina........please

I have one almost done (the "top" is done), and one designed but not done - having fits with my embroidery machine.
I'll get them done in time. Not to worry.
They are NOTHING like any of your's though - those are fantastic, mine are rather plain.

OOOOOOOHH! I haven't come up with any ideas as yet! Been busy doing a bookmark & a mug rug and christmas ornament swaps & apparently tired as my creative muse is not active on this as yet!
