How to punch fabric
As seen in Papercraft inspirations
Give your cards, layouts & papercraft projects a tactile fabric finish with our guide to how to use paper punches on fabric.
 Step 1 Put your chosen fabric on a non-stick surface (baking parchment works well). Brush fabric stiffener generously over the fabric until it is quite wet. Leave the fabric to dry thoroughly - overnight is best. |
 Step 2Once dry your fabric will have a crisp, stiff finish perfect for punching. You will probably need to press the punch harder than if you were using paper or card - be prepared to use both hands! |
 Step 3For best results choose dressweight cotton fabrics as these will fit into your punches easily and will have nice, clean-cut edges. The textured surface is retained but with no fraying. |
