Ususally I’m not interested in stiffening crochet items because I don’t make ornaments.
But when I saw the lamp I knew that I was lost ;-))
I haven’t made much research until now, but via the Google search and the Google image search I have found at least ‘About Stiffeners’ where there are a lot of recipes and instructions and even tips on how to reshape an item where necessary.
Let’s see what I will make…
