I'm looking for blanks to make cuffs wrapped with strips of African chitenze cloth. Would these work for that and hold shape? Thanks!

They might work, these are pretty thin so they are really hard to get them to hold shape for a bracelet. Make sure you order the thicker ones!

Yes they hold shape and they are thin just make sure you use correct tool to bend or you will crease them

I covered these blanks with polymer clay which should have added some strength to hold its shape. It did not hold. A thicker blank would most likely be better for your project.

Yes, I made a whole bunch of baby wraps from this for newborn photography (used RIT dye and cut them to 1.5 yard lengths). The cheesecloth is not stretchy like stretch wraps, but it still works well for wraps and layering. The more you wash it the softer it gets. Very nice quality.

I have done this and when they go into the dryer they become very clingy and stick to other fabrics when they are put in the dryer. Also, company said not to use fabric softener and dryer sheets that will coat these delicate threads in the cloth thus diminishing the property of attraction. Not totally sure of what you are looking for. Kim

These are light weight fabric with a plastic type coating. They would not resist punctures well. They are more for dealing with caustic liquids. I would think leather would wouk better.

I think these would work well for tie dye. The label is very faint and should not interfere.

Instead of making them smaller make your arms bigger by adding a wrapping of medical gauze dyed black or some other wrapping material. This might add a cool look to them & will definitely help absorb impact! Just thinking outside the box, I sincerely hope this works out well for you! Even if you can find something cheap from the Goodwill that has a fur lining that can be cut up to wrap & tie around your arm, leaving the tuffs visible at each end might look cool! I repaired a old Viking sword sheath like that by gluing the fur to the hard wooden scabbard & then I went to the crafts department at Wal-Mart & braided different color leather cord to cross wrap around the fur & it came out looking better than the original. I would try this before altering your cuffs worst case scenario you could still sell them if you start altering the cuffs themselves their value will depreciate. I hope this works, good luck!

I think these would work. They are like the flour sack towels my grandmother did embroidery on to give to others.

the cloths are great for infant "burp" cloths. I felt they were smaller than I had hoped so I gave them to my son to use for his new baby girl. He loves them! If a person were to embroidery on them it may look nice. I would just purchase one package first and see for yourself if they would be the right size/quality.

They will "work" on dark fabrics, but you may not be able to see the blue marker on the red shirt, etc. Just like if you painted a dark color on another dark color. It does not act like a lightener and they are not opaque. Meaning that the yellow will not appear yellow on a dark colored cloth, but would be just a faint mark on it instead.

They might be - the weave is nice & tight, so small pieces of herbs won't fall out, creating a mess. But my guess is that you'd prefer to use a cotton or muslin pouch for something like that - a natural material, rather than a synthetic. I'm sorry, I can't be of more help than that.

They may be a little small, they're washcloths, but they should work pretty good. I have some that I use on my dog's after they come in from the rain.

I'm sorry, I don't really know. I bought these to use for Zentangles. Since they are fairly thick I think it would be worth your while to try them out b/c they are so inexpensive.

I don't believe these will work for topstitching due to the eye is not large enough. I use these for embroidery and normal sewing.

These are excellent on fabric; however, make sure that after you draw on the fabric you press it well with a hot iron. After that you can wash/dry and color will not come out. The colors will not fade either. I've made many quilt labels using these pens.

I would think so. I ironed them on tshirts and on an athletic bag and both were very easy. You could use a cloth or layer of material in between iron and lettering if you wanted to protect it from the heat some. Just don't hold on there over 15 sec at a time.

Yes and I highly recommend! That's exactly what I use them for ... along with the super-satchel double deep box (by ArtBin 6990AB). Perfect for storing serger thread! The double-deep boxes are stackable so takes up less space for storing your thread/fabric. Enjoy!
