Catching up...


With the kids firmly back at school now I am finally getting some free time to catch up on some much needed projects around the house. Our table has been in need of a spruce up for a while, and the Loulouthi laminated cotton was perfect for this project.

I used spray glue to stick it to a foam heatproof backing as in the past I have used dabs of fabric glue that have shown through leaving a stain. It was a better way of fixing it, or rather it would have been if I hadn't run out half way through and got my hands covered in glue trying to spread out the last few drops from the can. This left me with sticky hands that even spiderman would have been jealous of.


I'm so pleased with the result, the print is bright and spectacular, it looks amazing. I may have to make the kids eat on the floor from now on incase they get it dirty or something equally awful.


I hope you are having a great weekend whatever you are doing.

  6. Oh, I love. Is it tucked under/round the sides too, or just on the surface?

  7. Thanks all! Katy it is just on the surface so it has to glued together with the foam especially well around the edges or the laminate curls.
