I *heart* craft happenings

I'm always encouraging others to get into making their own accents and embellishments! Its so fun and addictive:) I know you all own a corner rounder so why not grab a piece of cardstock (mine were kraft), straighten the edges w/ scissors or your trimmer and round each corner. Then, using a glue stick, stick down some felt circles and add a stitch or two..then you have your own lil' accent for journalling or matting a photo on or whatever your heart desires...I hope you'll try it:) I know you'll enjoy it!

Use contrasting thread to brighten up the circles:)

These would also look so sweet as postage labels too:) Wish I could use one to send to myself LOL!!

Make a lil' badge.

Wearable art is so so SO cool, using scraps up is always good for lil' badges and swap pins..plus they're fun to make! This one is made with scraps of denim material mounted on chipboard and cutting out a flower from felt material...add some simple handstitching (cos' that's all I know LOL) and for a finishing touch a contrasting button (like this cute cherry button here) and a few gems. And there you have it, a lil' badge of wearable art! Don't forget to add a flat pin to the back:)
