Washi Tape - Handmade

Keep rubbing

 tada..... the backing is rubbed off and you have a thin layer of paper with the scotch tape stuck to it.  It looks like washi tape.  Let dry and use as you would any other washi tape

Adhere to a card or layout etc. and you have a fun project

Other pieces of wash tape.  You can even use the zip strips for more fun!  Have a fun time!!

Fun with Fabric Flowers

 For this project, materials needed are card components, a strip of fabric, two cardstock circles, and 4 1" fabric circles.

 Put liquid glass or STRONG adhesive onto one of the 1" cardstock circles.  Start twisting the fabric strip tight. Roll into a spiral circle and place onto the 1" circle.  Press to adhere good.  (you can even add a little drop of liquid glass into the circle of the flower for extra strength.

 For the flower base, add adhesive onto the 2nd cardstock circle.  Fold each circle in half, then into 4ths,  add to circle

 Add spiral coil to the top of the folded petal flower base.  Voila..... a darling fabric flower.

 Add to cards, scrapbook pages, jewelry etc.  The coil flower can also be created using wash tape or handmade wash tape.

Chevron Patterns using ANy paper!!

Cut several strips of contrasting paper 3/4"x12".   On your desk pad draw your pattern onto the grid using at least two rows

 Cut your strips of paper into 1 inch pieces,

 Cut those pieces into diagonals cutting from corner to corner.  Begin 'building' your pattern on the grid.  Then transfer it to your project......  Beatiful chevron patterns every time!!
