Question:
I didn't have Mylar sheets but I did find some "metallic twist" in my stash (can't tell you how long I've had this!). I used a design for Mylar and used this stuff instead. It seems to work fine, it was good in the water when I dissolved the Vilene. Is this stuff Mylar too? I'm going to use it for ornaments for sure, get rid of some of it anyway!

It looks pretty darn good to me! An ornament isn't something that'd be washed regularly anyway, so I can't see a problem with using an alternative to mylar.

That's what I thought! It looks nice and it won't be washed anyway. Thanks. Do you have some of this in your stash!! LOL.

Yep I'm thinking the same Cathy If it's not going to have repeated washes I can't see an issue.

I can't answer but this looks quite nice to me, the crinkles make it look like it's sparkling. :-}

Great job thinking outside the box! It is for decorations anyway -- It should work well for ornaments.

Thanks, I'm going to put one on a piece of fabric and wash it and see what happens.

From what I can tell it's like a more dense coloured type of mylar, I've heard you can use a cellophane type of gift wrap as a mylar substitute as long as it's not repeatedly washed.. So good on you for using your noodle and coming up with this..

I like it, and yes I would try washing and see how it comes out, but for ornaments, it would really be neat, you won't be washing ornaments, I don't think/Lillian

This design was a freebie from charming station I believe, I'm not home so I can't check.
No, it was from Inspiration Mutz, not Charming Station.
