This listing is for one 19” x 10 yd bolt of Kraft-Tex.

Get ready to work with Kraft Tex, a rugged, fiber-based material that looks and feels like leather but sews, cuts, and washes like fabric! It's strong, flexible, and perfect for sewing projects, mixed-media art, home décor, bookmaking, and more. The texture softens and crinkles with handling or washing for a unique, worn-in look.

Kraft Tex can be embossed, machine embroidered, hand-embroidered, distressed, printed on with an ink-jet printer, painted with acrylics, dyed, colored with shoe polish, waxed with paste wax, stamped, drawn on, and so much more.

• Stamping, printing, and embossing work best on unwashed Kraft Tex.
• Slightly dampen before embossing for best results.
• Use an acrylic-based medium to set ink for permanent designs.

This Kraft Tex does not come pre-washed. For best results with some techniques, machine wash your Kraft Tex to give it more flexibility, texture, and make it easier to sew. Crumple the Kraft Tex before placing it in your washing machine. Crumple again before putting it in your dryer. Remove while still damp and lay flat to complete drying. Detergent is optional. Iron on the cotton setting if you would like to flatten out the Kraft Tex.
