A starter pack from creative grids which includes an industrial strength cutting mat, an Olfa rotary cutter and a Creative Grids non-slip ruler. I couldn't let it sit around so I ran to the market and picked up some supplies to decorate or flat for an Alice in Wonderland themed birthday party.
A pile of felt and bias binding was quickly chopped up with my new board into....
...neat pile of bunting triangles. A little more snipping and an hour at the sewing machine gave me 8 metres of "Queen of hearts" bunting. I had a whole load more little flags but didn't buy enough binding so I'll have to think of something to do with them.
A quick way to liven up a dull student corridor!
So cute! I reccomend getting a reversible sewing/cutting pad. For small spaces it is great. I still use mine and have a second one too. It great to throw anywher to iron on or flip over to cut. Travels well too.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to look out for one of those, sounds like a great idea
ReplyDeleteI have missed you!!
ReplyDeleteI don't go to the forum much anymore. I simply do not have the time to keep up with everything over there!!
Have fun at your party; the banner is cute!
Hey there
ReplyDeleteGlad to have you back. Cute, cute, cute banners. And how fun.
Like the idea Colleen mentioned? Havent' seen anything like that unless I just haven't paid attention. Is it like rotary cutting mat on one side and lightly padded perhaps flannel on the other for pressing? Intriguing. I am a gadget freak.
GEE! Wish you were there to decorate MY dorm (although it was 100 years ago lol!) when I was in college! Can't wait to see what you make next!
