Cassette Tapes


I think my first cassette tape was a Cliff Richards album.  I'm pretty sure my second was East 17.  When SpiegelMom Scraps decided that the June theme for all DT projects should be 80's/90's I immediately thought of cassettes.


I fiddled around in Silhouette Studio and made the components for a cassette shaker.


It was fairly easy to cut the relevant pieces from the relevant material.  One collated I decided on Neon Summer as my sequin filling.  Later on I thought it needed a little more blue so added some Not Quite Navy.
 

The area for the double sided tape is rather skinny so I cut some tape in to three strips.  My top tip for cutting double sided tape is to add the backing from an already used piece to the uncovered sticky side.  This way you can cut away without getting your blades stuck together!

And there you have it... a 90's casette full of sequins!


I hope this makes it to a layout soon... stay tuned!

Hello, Happy Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday !  As promised a picture of last Wednesdays 'work' finished off.  Post and more photos here . This week I'm showing off the beaded ATC I made... Tricky to photograph so your getting one with flash and one without... It was all parcelled up and sent off to Queen of Desks Julia .  Here is a basic of how it was made... (lots of waffle about wefts and warps!) I use a flexible beading needle.  It is mainly 'eye' so it is very easy to thread. And delica beads which are more regular and accurate than the better known seed bead.  They are slightly more rectangular than round so they line up better. Thread your needle with the weft thread.  (The cross ways thread that weaves back and forth.)  Pick up the beads... Pass the needlefull of beads underneath the warp (tight length ways) threads on the loom... ...and push each bead u...

Hoppity!

Hoppity hoppity!!  :) Hopeful you have arrived here from Fleur 's blog as part of the Crafty Ribbons Easter Hop .  If not and you've found yourself here wondering what on earth I'm on about (and let’s face it J you wouldn’t be the first!!) check out the Inspirations site for all the juicy details! My project for the hop is         Easter bunting!  I cut three templates first - a triangle pennant, a bird and a heart.        Then I cut the pennant shapes from fibre ribbon, threaded them on to some 3mm satin and evenly spaced them.  I embellished each flag with some beads...       I backed the birds and heart on some thin white card and glued them to the centre of the pennants.   My supplies list: yellow fibre , pink fibre , lime fibre , 3mm satin , button box , white card, glue, beads, needle and thread.   ...
