• The One Where the Velvet Flocking Flies

  Sugar Coating is a brand sold at Hobby Lobby.  They are the only brand to sell Velvet Flock in an array of colors that you can buy in a set.  I purchased my very own set today.  It’s very exciting!

  

  After I purchased the flocking, I hurried to my desk, the only space in the house I deem as MINE!  I brought out a printed card I had been given for Christmas and began to use my Martha Stewart glue so I could get a thin line and outline the flower.

  Then I pulled out the white flocking.  Mistake number one, the fan was on.  The flocking was landing everywhere BUT the glue line.  After cutting the fan off, I continued to pour the flocking on the glue.  It took about a half of a bottle to adequately cover.  Now it was time to shake the excess off and pour back in the bottle. Ugh.

  The flocking is sticking to the card, where there is no glue, sticking to the excess holder below, and still flying in the air.

  Once the snow storm had settled… the flocking had made very little difference.  My excitement fell to disappointment.

  I tried couple of other colors, green and pink.  Neither really made an impact, so I went back to Old Faithful, glitter.

  Now, I mean to harm to the Sugar Coating brand, for I LOVE their glitter collection.  The flocking in general should be avoided.
