Deco-Foils
Adding a foiling effect to paper crafts is a breeze with Therm O Web’s iCraft® Deco Foils™ and Hot Melt Adhesive.
rk tow foils hot melt-1The iCraft® Deco Foil™ Hot Melt Adhesive can be cut with a punch, electronic or manual die cut machine. I used my manual die cut machine to cut all of these shapes and words out of Hot Melt. Place the Hot Melt with the bumpy side down onto your project. Cut a piece of foil large enough to cover all the iCraft® Deco Foil™ Hot Melt Adhesive and place it on top of the Hot Melt with the foil color side up or facing you.  Then run through a laminator. I let mine heat up for about 20 minutes (a bit longer than it takes for the green ready light to go on, but worth it for good coverage).

For this card I did not use a carrier sheet. You have to be more careful that the Deco Foil™ doesn’t rumple, but I think the coverage is best and most even without the carrier sheet.

I love that Deco Foil™ Hot Melt Adhesive can be used for fabric AND paper crafts and plan on using it to foil LOTS more projects in the future!
