Re-purposed music paper & fabric scraps
In the search for more crafts my mother-in-law and I stopped by a local thrift and antique store. While there, I found a piano book that was for sale that had the nicely aged look to the pages. I bought it and started turning the paper into some fun creations that I'm hoping to use in some shadowboxes for the craft room. My mother-in-lay also created some dress forms from her scrap fabric that I could use for the shadowboxes as well. Check out the results so far!

How did you get such perfect roses?
ReplyDeleteHi Kylie! I have to say a cheated a bit... I used my Silhouette cutting machine to cut the paper in the proper shape that I could then just twirl it around and pin it on itself to make this shape. You could just have a printer print the shape on top of paper you want to use and cut it out by hand though. Here's the shape I used that enables you to twirl the paper into a rose-looking shape!
