You can just about see the whitish marks in the photo on the right.
Wanted to try to make flowers that keep their shape so they can be used for house decoration or outside. Ordered some stiffener for fabrics from Hands and tried having a go by following their instructions. Stuff is white and quite thick. When I tried to paint it onto the felted flower, I struggled and was uneven, leaving whitish marks on the felt. But it has become stiff/hardened as you can see below. You can just about see the whitish marks in the photo on the right. I intend to try again but using a mixture of school glue one part of glue and one part of water and see if I can use without the marks. Was a little disappointed, will try this stiffener again as well, but using it diluted. Hoping for a better success later.
