Homemade Mesh!

To make your own mesh, use wall repair tape (get it at the hardware store). It's sticky on one side, and you can use that stickiness to attach embossing powder or glitter. Here, I used embossing powder on the non-sticky side, then embossed to get a full, rich color. It makes a GREAT new and interesting background for your stamps - especially the "stitched" and/ or rustic types of stamps.

Magic Mesh is a self-adhesive, repositionable, decorative mesh for use on stamp art, memory album pages or for general crafting. It is acid-neutral, photo safe and non-toxic.

• Cut it, emboss it, layer it, stick it, punch it, stencil it, glitter it, color it, weave it, laminate it, tie it, die-cut it, wrap it, airbrush it, collage it!

• Use it on....cards, memory albums, stationery, gift wrap, jewelry, invitations, party favors, bookmarks, kids crafts, gift bags and tags, decorations, home decor, paper art, journals...if you can craft it, you can use Magic Mesh with it!

• Use for straight, even, adorable lettering. Do block lettering, coloring even squares or cross stitch any style lettering with simple x's in block letter formations. Remove and re-use mesh!

• Weave a strip of cloth, yarn, ribbon or wire through the mesh to add depth and dimension.

• Use as a guide for drying and arranging flowers.

• Create symmertically even backgrounds. Place Magic Mesh on stock and dot glue, chalk or markers into evenly spaced squares. Remove, sprinkle glitter, tap and Viola!

• Etch or decorate glass through it!
