I have two upcoming projects to share with you and I can't wait to get started on them. One is a Julie-original and the other one fairly uncommon so hopefully this will be new information that will interest you and make you...want to craft! If you want, get the materials ahead of time and follow along with me as I create. If you are comfortable, I would love to see your results too!
Fabric Boards for Scrapbooking
This is the Julie-Original and although fun and unique, too much can be a bad thing! How's that for a teaser? The benefit to small fabric boards is that they make an excellent background for the photos in your scrapbook. They are unique, will invite comments and make your picture POP! The downside is that you can't have them on every page or your book will be too thick to close (learned by-uh-experience)! So head to your fav Pacific Fabrics & Crafts store and get the following materials ready:
- Thin cardboard (think double thickness of a file folder) & good scissors
- Glue Gun and Sticks
- Fat Quarters in your choice of colors
- Ribbon to match; 1/4 inch or less (optional)
- Self-Sticking Photo Corners (optional but makes photo placement easier)
Headboard Pad
If you want to give your headboard a different look or add softness to it, this is the answer. A headboard pad with batting will add spice to your bedroom and is an easy way to dress up your room without a lot of expense. Quality Sewing & Vacuum and Pacific Fabrics & Crafts have everything that you need to craft this one. You will need:
- Your sewing machine ready to go (hand-stitching OK too)
- Fabric and thread of your choice (Measure your headboard first. You will be covering both the front and the back of the headboard. I will be doing one for a twin bed so it should take about three yards)
- Batting of the same amount
- Four feet of 1-inch ribbon to match your fabric
Get your stuff! We'll start next week...
Julie
