Full details
This guide is for crafters looking to add a unique, fuzzy texture to their paper projects. The key benefit is achieving a velvety, fur-like finish without heat. A caveat is that the flock adheres best with specific adhesives, requiring careful application. Panda Black Fun Flock fibres provide a 13-gram pot of black, fur-like texture material to add a velvety sheen to cards, scrapbook pages, and other paper crafts. It's easy to use, requires no special tools, and can be combined with glitter or sticky powder for enhanced effects.

FAQs
What is Panda Black Fun Flock?
Panda Black Fun Flock is a craft material consisting of fine, fur-like fibres that create a velvety texture on paper crafts. It comes in a 13-gram pot.
Do I need a heat tool to use this product?
No, this product does not require a heat tool. It adheres using standard craft adhesives.
What types of adhesives work best?
It works best with double-sided tapes, adhesive stickers, adhesive sheets, and liquid craft glues. Using sticky powder can create raised effects.
Can I combine Fun Flock with glitter?
Yes, you can add glitter to your Fun Flock for added sparkle after applying the flock to the adhesive.
How do I clean up excess flock?
Once the adhesive is dry, gently tap the project to remove excess fibres. These can be collected and reused if stored properly.
What surfaces can I use this on?
It is primarily designed for paper crafts, working well on cardstock, paper, and other surfaces that can hold adhesive effectively.
Is this product safe for children?
The product itself does not require heat, making it safer than heat-activated embellishments. Adult supervision is recommended during application, especially for younger crafters, to manage potential mess.
Troubleshooting
Flock not adhering well
Ensure you are using a strong, suitable adhesive. Reapply adhesive and flock, making sure the adhesive is still tacky when the flock is applied.
Excessive fibre fallout after drying
Allow the adhesive to dry completely before tapping off excess. If fallout persists, ensure the initial adhesive application was thorough and even.
Uneven flocking coverage
Apply adhesive as evenly as possible. Use a brush or spatula to help distribute the flock fibres evenly into the adhesive before it dries.
Flock clumping
Store the fibres in a dry environment and ensure the lid is tightly sealed. Avoid exposing the fibres to moisture.
