I tackled two of the papers shown in the Jen Schow unboxing video HERE
& my own variation of these tulle bows
The circles were a quick job with a Sharpie pen. I liked more variety in the sizes but had to choose to like the messy scribbled look. The sentiment came from the stamp set in the inspiration, only my own version:
I felt that for me the sweet tulle bows were a little too precious, so I fashioned mine from crepe paper.
I sewed the embroidery floss to the center of each strip of crepe paper with a zigzag stitch, which allowed me to gather it in & tie it together, nice & full.
Oh, I do love the forging almost as much as the memory keeping!
Hope you are inspired.

Aren't you clever?! Love all three items. I like the way you picked out the items and then adapted them to suit your own style and needs and then "chose" to love the result! Perfect and a perfect way to start the year. I would never have thought to do a zig zag stitch along the middle of the bow - I really want to give these a try and will keep that in mind! A perfect set of forgeries!
ReplyDeleteLeslie: I love your clever intro for your blog post!!! And your forgeries are fantastic!!!
ReplyDeleteWorry Less. Pray More! Exactly the sentiment I need to surround myself with. And I have to agree. Creating a look-alike product is intrinsically rewarding. Since I don't find much time to play, now-adays, just thinking about how I would recreate a paper or embellie gives me a reason to smile. The polka-dot crepe is adorable.
