Watching people here use the adhesive films inspired an incremental improvement in making the plates for embossing velvet. It’s exactly what you would expect: I put the 3M 468MP Transfer Tape on one side of my MDF before cutting the design to avoid the wood glue glue-up. It was a lot easier. The rest is pretty much the same as the previous project.


Well, it is also a different design with Celtic spirals.

And I made another dice bag [previously] for my niece as a present. I used glow floss in the kumihimo drawstring braid for this one and, 3D printed some skull beads in glow-in-the-dark resin for the bead set.
