Abstract: A device for shaping and contouring a fabric or the like in sewing and handicraft projects. In one configuration, the device includes a strip of solid and ductile metal that is configured to be directly adhered to a fabric surface. At lease one layer of acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive is formed on a bonding of the metal. The shaping device can be bent into various contours and is strong enough to cause material such as tapestry or balsa wood to assume the contours of the shaping device.
