Hi again, happy summer! Its Vanessa here and this month I have continued using the lovely SEI Mayberry Range.
Along with my scrapbooking hobby, I love sewing and I use scrap pieces of fabric to make little puff flowers (tutorials are all over the internet). I thought I would try this out on paper, bearing in mind you need to make it pliable without tearing it.
Firstly draw a circle, I have used a compass, but draw around anything round.
Use a very small amount of mist spray not only to give a sheen/sparkle, but to slightly dampen the circle and then scrumple it up, which will soften the paper more.
Fold over the edge of the circle and using a needle and thread, stitch a straightforward running stitch all around.
Pull both ends of the thread tightly (careful not to rip the paper) and flatten.
Thanks for looking and enjoy the rest of your summer. :) x
