Distressed Dryer Sheets

Used dryer sheets can be painted, printed on and even distressed. They can then be used as textural collage elements.

Step 1

Place the dryer sheet on top of plastic to protect your work space. Paint the sheet. Let dry.

Step 2

Use a heat gun to distress or melt the fabric. The areas free of paint will melt. (You should work in a well-ventilated area.)

Step 3

Apply gel to your surface and place the dryer sheet on top of the gel. Apply more gel over the dryer sheet and let dry.
