Stiffy fabric stiffener
#1
Has anyone used this product? I'd like to make some fabric fortune cookies for New Year's as well as try some small origami style boxes out of fabric. It would help to know if this stuff remains pliant enough not to crack if the finished item is bent. I still want these things to feel like cotton and not like ceramic! Thanks for any help.

Could you zig zag stitch over some fine wire on the inside of your cookies along the very edge?
Or make a cookie sandwich, fabrics right sides together with fusible on the back of one, lay the wire around the edges and fuse it all together. Just a thought.

Hmm, wire might be an interesting possibility amma. Thanks. I think I'll get some Stiffy (who came up with that name I wonder? :roll: ) at JoAnn's and play around with it. It's good to know it doesn't get too rigid so thanks for that info Gayle.

Years ago, we used to use a sugar/water mix to stiffen lace and fabric. Unfortunately, they do not last years, but may give you the texture you are looking for. It was something like a cup of sugar with only a tablespoon of water.
