Fiber Etch Project Article in CraftStylish (Volume IV)

“Creating your own eyelet pattern may look tricky, but it’s easier than you think. Fiber-Etch is a gel that eats away the fabric’s fibers and leaves behind a perfectly-shaped hole in any design you want. Just heat it with a hair dryer, and you can burn out cotton and silk rayon fabrics in no time. Try in on knits (they won’t ravel), as I did here, or experiment with woven fabrics for a more frayed look.”
