Ever want to try using flock? Have you ever heard of flocking? Flock is a fun, fluffy and fuzzy fiber that you can adhere to projects to enhance an image or a pattern on patterned paper. It can even be mixed with glitter to give it a little sparkle.
To use flock you can use a strong high-tack glue such as Aleene's Paper Glaze. Apply the glue either free-hand or by going over a stamped image or pattern. Next, place the flocking on it, apply if with a heavy hand because you shake off the excess and save it for another project. Gently pat the flocking to ensure it really gets into the glue then let it dry. After at least 15 minutes, shake off the excess flock and re-store for later. This will leave you with a flocked image.
You can also use Terrifically Tacky Tape to make a flocked straight line. Cut the length of tape that you would like and tap it into a pile of flock to cover the exposed sticky side of the tape. Next, remove the red covering that protects the other side of the tape and adhere it to your project.

- letters (stamped or cut-outs)
