Prepare to play with a variety of textured materials & threads!
Choosing the perfect balance between textured and regular
fabrics can change the look of your puzzles. Naturally, texture
will draw the eye's attention, especially when contrasted with
a backround of regular or non-textured materials. For the
dinosaur, we decided to use a combination of gold lamé and
lime green crinkley fabric that has splashes of gold sprinkled
throughout. The texture of the lime green fabric helps make
the dinosaur stand out from the grass and surrounding sky.
We also used this same strategy when adding corduroy to
the pterodactyl and volcano. For the more magical-looking
unicorn puzzle, we used white and silver glitter vinyl on the
unicorn to help it stand out from the cream background. For
a subtle shiny texture we incorporated lavender twill, which
gave the puzzle a unique textured satin finish.
