Evolon Product Techniques

Evolon Heat Distressing 1*

Why Not Try This…….

All of the techniques that can be applied to Lutradur can be applied to Evolon but because of the slightly different composition of fibres, Evolon will resist heat a little more and your working method adapted.

Using A Heat Tool

Evolon can be stamped with paints and expanding mediums with either a stencil or foam stamps. Any heat distressing techniques can be applied whilst the fabric and paints are still wet. Using a heat tool to achieve holes in the fabric requires a little more effort and patience. Heat should be applied from a heat tool fairly close to the fabric surface but holes will appear very slowly – a little practice will help you to develop this skill.

The sample here has been created using a small rectangle of Evolon which has been stamped with a water based metallic paint and then heat distressed to produce the small holes.

To complete the bag has been placed onto a piece of organza and machine stitching has been applied to create the grid effect.

Small pieces of fused Angelina strands have also been placed behind the holes to highlight the surface effect.

* We recommend use of a mask in a well ventilated area when distressing Evolon.
