…compilation of tutorials
I told before how you can make matching, but not equal paper inchies*.
Here she shows how to make wondeful fabric inchies.
It must be a lot of fun.
* What is an inchie? An Inchie is a 1″ square of art. They are made from paper or fabric and then embellished in innumerable ways (see links below).

I find this Mehndi tapestry so beautiful – and somehow it seems so easy to make the way she describes it ;-))

I really like the colourful safety pins bracelet!
I find it more interesting with the safety pins than the paper bead bracelet where the paper beads are hold together from elastic alone.
Making paper beads really is simple, especially if you use a (self-made) paper beads roller.
You can even give the paper beads a slightly different form if you like to or make the beads from fabric.
However, it’ll be an interesting and beautiful item ;-)
A propos: If the style of the bracelet seems familiar look here ;-)

Well, because I’m not one for working accurately possibly this random pleating was the right thing for me?!

I find these roses from fabric or paper most beautiful, even without wreath!
And it seems that they are easy to make, which does no harm! ;-))
They should look great for jewelry, too, for a ring or earring e.g.?!
If they’re not exactly your cup of tea simply look for flowers from fabric or flowers from paper ;-)

I find these sewn potholders soo beautiful!
I even tried it once but it didn’t work: I wanted to sew on spirals, but the stitching made the fabric pucker up completely although I made the stitch length as long as possible.
Probably the needle thread tension was too high or the like, I have to try it once more.
Somewhen ;-))

When I saw these place mats I was compleeetly thrilled: that’s exactly what I love so much!
She seems to use as well fabric as paper – many of these self coloured.
And I do love to work with paper, e.g. at my paper shopping bag or my paper Crazy Quilt ;-)

Don’t these look wonderful?
And here also it seems that the little roses are quite easy to make – although it seems that you have to be very careful.
A point on my list again ;-)

The fabric stone necklace is another fabric necklace, but this time with a pendant that gives a little weight.
Anyway, I like it :)

What a wonderful idea: to batik reasonably priced with children without getting it dangerous for the little ones she simply uses washable (school) glue!
And what children can do, I can, too.
Very often ;-)))
By the way, she uses watered down acrylic colours to colour everything in.
Great!
