Stashbusting The Half Made Projects 2

The second instalment in my series finishing off as many half made projects as possible.

I had a watercolour background, a sheet of vellum cut to a lace pattern and a handful of bits from my desktop that matched.

When I cut on my Silhouette I tend to cut more than the file I want to use... if the machine is out I may as well cut a few extra, right? Well, wrong. This is how the half dones pile up!

I've got a few bits and bobs used. A title, some butterflies and the lace but I still have loads of cut cut files.

I do love the lace cut on vellum. I want to be more intentional and adventurous when it comes to cutting files. I tend to stick to white card but vellum is a great option.

(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!! :) 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. ...
