Twinchies Creation

So when I unveiled them, I announced that I was going to 'splain how I made them (see the original post here). So here you go:

First I painted fusible web -- I tried out a number of different kinds, but that's another post -- for this project, I used WonderUnder and Setacolor Shimmer paints. I used the Setacolors because they were new and I wanted to play with them.
I cut the fusible into strips and ironed it to some plain white cotton sateen with a piece of parchment paper on top -- I didn't want to take a chance on getting any of this stuff stuck to my iron. Then I ironed this to Peltex - no batting. I also used some bright gold foil to liven them up. I just added it with a hot iron right on top of the painted fusible.
I draped over some multi-colored ribbon/yarn and quilted with turquoise thread in an all over stipple. I fused some plain white cotton to the back. I cut two inch strips and then cut the strips into squares.
I didn't like the unfinished edge and a plain zig zag just didn't do it for me, so I added some eyelash yarn to the edges with a zig zag.
I added beads to some of them. I punched a hole in each twinchie and added a grommet. I wound up having to buy a new hole puncher because the cheapie one I had fell apart in my hand after the first half dozen. I got really good at the grommets at the end -- I had a flower eyelet setter and after a while, they really looked like flowers. This is an inchie posing with the grommets and the setter.

Twinchies Have Landed!

A couple of months ago, I sent out these:

And in return, I received these:

Twinchies are like inchies on steroids. They are two inch works of art (inchies are one inch works of art). Each one is different. I'm not saying which is my favorite...

Later, when I have more time, I'll post an explanation of just how I made mine.
