In this video, I show you how to treat cork fabric from Hobby Lobby so that can be used with your Cricut cutting machine. Then I compare cork fabric treated with the fabric stiffener to cork fabric not treated with it.

Thanks for the tips. Was looking at cork leather and decided to find out more about it here on YT before purchasing it. Glad I found you. Question: Will the Explore Air 2 cut cork leather?
@MakingwithMarilyn
@MakingwithMarilyn 2 жыл бұрын
I have worked with 2 types. One is just a thin layer of cork and the Explore Air 2 would definitely cut it. The other is backed with (bonded to) fabric. So, if you have had good luck cutting fabric on your cutting machine, then I assume it would, but I have never owned that cutting machine to know from experience. If you try it, let me know how it goes.

Oh, that's sad! You can buy it online from Hobby Lobby, but it is nice to pick it out yourself. In my HL, it is in the back half of the store in an aisle near jewelry making supplies. I sure hope you find it when you go back, but glad you found a remnant of black leather to play with:)

if the cork gets wet, wouldn't the glue wash away which would leave it fraying in the future? definitely wouldn't suggest wearing them while in the shower or while swimming, just imagining getting caught in the rain
@MakingwithMarilyn
@MakingwithMarilyn 3 жыл бұрын
I was really curious what would happen after reading your question, so I took a piece of the cork I coated with stiffener months ago and put it under running water for several seconds. It's been about 5 minutes and the earring isn't sticky or anything. If I rub the back of the earring very hard with my finger, I can feel a slight tack. I assume it's been long enough since I used the stiffener that it has kinda cured. I agree, I wouldn't swim or shower in them, but I wouldn't be too concerned with a little rain. Thanks again for the question.

Are you able to then apply any sort of decal with heat transfer on the front or would the heat press activate the glue?

I think it would be fine since htv doesn't have to be pressed for too long, but I am not sure. If you happen to try it, let me know how it comes out. I have also used two pieces of this cork fabric and pressed them together with heat n bond before cutting them in my Cricut. I would worry a little bit about the heat n bond seeping out though.

For the cork fabric that was not treated, what setting did you cut it on?
@MakingwithMarilyn
@MakingwithMarilyn 3 жыл бұрын
For untreated cork fabric (just plain fabric off the bolt and not doubled up), I would use faux leather paper thin. If you need to increase the pressure after doing a small test cut, then change the default setting to more.

Thanks so much for this wonderful idea! It's 2022 now and Hobby Lobby no longer has it's fabric on sale at all times like they used to, so I have not bothered to shop there in a while. But I did check on-line to see if they have cork because I plan to make small zipper pouches to sell. I will go in next week when the fabric is back on sale and maybe ask for a sample but maybe you can help me. Have you used this cork for anything other than earrings? In making pouches, I will install a zipper so I need a cork that will not split at the seams or folds. Do you have an opinion about whether or not the thickness and quality of backing would make their cork suitable for bag making? I was also wondering if I couldn't paint it to make contrasting colors with permanent fabric dye. Or even do some artsy painting on it or stamp it, or white wash it. I'm full of ideas after watching your video. I love getting around expensive supplies. I have found some beautiful cork, but when you want to sell things, you have to find deals or work with less expensive products! I love how you made this work with the 'fabric stiffener'! Way to go!

I am in my craft room checking out the cork fabric. I am bending it all the way over and it does not crack. And the backing is really very good. I am watching a sewing tutorial and I think I will sew something with it. Also, I live so far from HL that I haven't been in one for months, so I wasn't aware that they no longer have the discount on it at all times. Thanks so much for mentioning that!!! The other cork fabrics that they sell in small bags are quite thin and do not have the quality of this one.

@@MakingwithMarilyn I think around the same time HL discontinued the 40% off coupon, they also discontinued the normal 30% off fabric. Now the fabric is off and on sale every other week. I learned the hard way. Had a bunch of fabric cut and noticed no discount on the slip. But anyway... thanks so much for testing out the cork fabric for me!! If the cork is durable enough to support a zipper installation, it should be ok for the rest of the pouch as well. I ordered cork through Amazon and it described it as perfect for earrings, handbags, etc. But it sounds like what you described being sold in small bags at HL. It had the characteristics of paper and can't be used in the way I would like to use it. What a shame because it is actually gorgeous. I'm going to buy a few inches like what you have tomorrow and really test it out and then go next week when it's on sale and get a yard. I'm anxious to see how it takes fabric dye or paint. This is going to be fun!! Thanks again!!

@@MakingwithMarilyn So I went and got my sample. The price has gone up to $29.99 which will make it $21.00 when it's 30% off. I picked up a sample and sewed it using upholstery thread and it seems to work perfectly when I doubled it over and made a seam. I also painted with permanent ink on it and the coverage is wonderful. I believe JoAnn's has cork fabric too and you can usually get better sales or use a 50% off coupon if it isn't already on sale. I'm going to get a sample there next, but I'm pretty happy with this one from HL.

I feel pretty confident it would be fine, but am not totally sure. If you try it, let me know:) I often put this cork fabric together back to back with HeatNBond and then cut through the 2 layers at one time. Then you wouldn't need to back them with iron on. Thanks so much for watching!!!

@@MakingwithMarilyn Hi Marilyn. I make cork earrings also with 2 cork layers back to back. When you cut through the 2 layers with the cricut, do those edges *feel* smooth, in addition to looking smooth? I am thinking about getting a cricut or a laser -- I'm weighing the pros + cons of each. Thanks for any input you can offer.

@MakingwithMarilyn
@MakingwithMarilyn 4 жыл бұрын
I haven't tried it, but I would think it would work. However, I would only use one coat since it is thicker than my diy mixture. If you try it, I would try just a small square of your fabric first to see if it work. That way you do not ruin a large amount of fabric if it does not. I have so much cork fabric that I would be happy to try it and let you know.

I tried one coat of mod podge and it worked okay, but it left the back side pretty rough. I think it's just a little thicker than ideal. You could add some water to mod podge, though, and I think it would work just fine.
