Most children adore them, as do many teens and adults. Animals of all types are favorites with all ages and genders. If you are thinking of giving a special gift, or want an item that sells, why not choose something that they already love. Simply select and create something from animal print fabrics.
What to Look For
When looking at fabric, you need to consider a variety of factors. Much of your decision depends on the intended recipient. Ask yourself several questions before you decide to look at the offering in a fabric store or on the internet.
* Who is to get the final product?
* What exactly do you plan to make – clothing including shirts and hats, ornaments or other crafts, bedding?
* Are you creating a single item or do you plan to produce several for sale?
* What type of fabric will you need? Are you thinking, for example, of polyester, cotton, fleece or blends
* Do you plan to use only one type of animal or are you going to work with a variety of animal print fabrics?
* How much fabric will you need?
* Are you considering color schemes?
* What is your budget?
Animal Print Fabrics: Quality and More
One very important aspect you always need to consider is quality. If you want to produce a durable gift for a friend or several items to sell at a market, online or as part of a craft fair, you need to make certain they look good. However, any product, for a friend, a relative or a customer needs to be more. The items must:
* Be nice to the touch
* Durable
* Stain resistant – for children in particular
* Have longevity – no one wants to buy a gift on Friday and realize by Monday it may not last the week
If you shop carefully, you will be able to find animal print fabrics that are all the above and more.
