Mini silicone spatula or dedicated paint brush.

Method

Wash and dry your fabric before you start.
Weigh out your ingredients into a pyrex jug and place in a double boiler on the stove.
Gently melt, it will take around 20 minutes for the ingredients to melt together.

4. Heat oven to 150°C. Place baking paper on an oven tray, larger than your piece of fabric.

5. Once the ingredients has melted pour onto your fabric and spread with the spatula. It may solidify before you get it all spread but that's ok, that's what the oven is for!

6. Place in the oven for two minutes. When you pull it out the fabric should be fully covered. Look for any dry spots and spread the mixture over them and place back in the oven if you need to.

7. Pick up by the corners (carefully, it's hot!) and let the excess mixture drip off onto the baking paper. Try turning it so that one edge doesn't end up thick with excess. It should only take a minute to dry enough to be able to lay it flat and place it in the fridge to solidify fully.

Note

When cleaning your Pyrex jug, try this simple trick: pop it in the microwave for about a minute to gently re-melt the leftover mixture. Carefully wipe out the melted residue with paper towels first. Once the excess has been removed, wash as usual with hot water and dishwashing liquid — it’ll scrub up much more easily.
