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. 
  • Cover a tiny baby with a Bunka romper, make booties
  • Trim clothing - aprons, blouses, lingerie, bedroom slippers
  • Trim furniture, pillows, drapery, potholders
  • Make flowers  - hyacinth, wisteria
  •  Hair for smaller dolls
  •  Small clippings of metallic Bunka can resemble bows on small sized packages
