    Crunched, painted over with different colors of metallic paint, allowed to dry, then pulled and straightened out again.

      One can do this with foiling too. Crunch the fabric, apply the adhesive, let set, drape pieces of foil on the adhesive, then pull everything out flat.

      when i was in a hurry to dry a piece of fabric i had painted, scrunched and was also a wipe up cloth, i touched a hot iron to the surface lightly to speed up the drying time. when i opened flat the fabric, after completely dry, the ironed sections had harder dry portions and stronger color..
