Research/ Inspiration
Tips/Hints
- Create "hooked" rugs by gluing pulled Bunka in graphic shapes onto fabric base.
- Carpet making - trace or draw a design on simple card stock, glue ravelled bunka in the design using a coil or circular pattern in each element of the design, in appropriate colors, using Tacky glue and a toothpick. This is a lot of fun to do and gives you a nice scale rug. Use the curved end of a ceramic clean-up tool to manipulate the bunka into place. Don't use too much glue or put glue on too large an area at one time. Use a piece of cardstock larger than the rug design and cut away the excess closely when done. Add fringe, if desired, by glueing on a strip of very fine cotton underneath the rug and ravelling it.
