Take a bit of cardboard

On Tuesday at wood carving club  friend of mine needed a piece of strong fishing line and I knew I had a reel of it in my workshop. Yesterday I went out to cut a piece for here and found some reflective tape that Tony gave me a few years ago. I suddenly had a yen to do a little bit of beading so I took the gorgeous red reflective tape back into the craft room. And before you ask, yes, I have a large craft room and a workshop and still could easily use more space. This is such a simple project and it looks really pretty. I might turn it into a zipper pull and attach it to my coat. Using nothing more than a square of cardboard, a piece of scrap denim, a piece of stick on reflective tape and a few beads.  Stick the tape onto the cardboard and then glue it to a piece of denim cut from the bottom of a pair of jeans. I die cut it into a heart shape using my Bigshot and the 'heartfelt' die. This afternoon I am planning on glueing it to a piece of felt and beading around the outside edge just to finish it off.

  1. My goodness, what a beautiful make. I do miss my craft room, although we now have a workshop up and running.

    1. :-)… It's not stuck there. I simply put it there for the photograph
