Today I wanted to see if you can get a fabric chenille effect using a soldering iron instead of stitching and a heat gun instead of fluffing your fabric in the washing machine. I used the soldering iron to fuse together layers of organza and felt. I then slashed in between the fused lines with scissors through all the layers. Once everything was cut I blasted it with the heat gun.
