Some folded cardboard and a pot of paste, oh and a few squares of coloured handmade paper, and I had myself some greeting cards in time for Mum's birthday and Father's Day.
Since I had the paste and stuff out anyway, I looked around to see what other bits of fabric, crochet squares and buttons I could stick on more cards.
It's funny that I kept these tiny scraps of fabric and misshapen crochet done while I was trying to master a new stitch, but it doesn't feel so silly now.
What a lovely idea. I've been wanting to get into making our own cards. So, I'll now start looking for nice fabric to do it with.
ReplyDeleteI have a chest of old kimono that belonged to my grandmother, but chopping them up is perhaps not the thing to do...
I'm about to start steaming a kilo of rice for KOJI!
