Easy Embossing Project Ideas To Decorate Your Home
If you're looking for an easy way to revamp your home for the holidays (without anything involving a ladder), check out 2021's new trend: embossing. Embossing traditionally refers to impressing patterns onto paper goods, revealing a decorative relief. But today, embossing goes so much further. It's possible to emboss anything from a chic wall print to glass and even fabric!
Rustic Leather Wall Hanging in Two Steps
There are two types of embossing techniques: pressure based and heat based. Pressure based embossing works best for malleable materials, such as paper, wood, or metal. Using a stamp and a little pressure, you can easily imprint any design onto these kinds of materials. One great project idea that's taking the DIY world by storm right now is leather work. Most big name craft stores carry rolls or swatches of genuine and faux leather for actually quite cheap. Can't find the perfect stamp? Try investing in an alphabet set. Stamp words like "home," "gather," or "merry" for a minimalistic wall hanging that's still seasonal without the mainstream colors.
Monogram Vase Using Heat Embossing
Embossing opens up crafters to a world of possibilities. With a data embossing machine, it's possible to create professional looking designs on glass, metal, and more. This monogram vase project has a boutique look with a dollar store price tag. To emboss on glass, crafters use a special powder that binds to the surface under heat. The heat will also melt the powder to reveal a glossy, smooth surface. This makes the design indistinguishable from the glass, as if it were embossed with a stamp like paper.
