Handmade paper wallet.

What should every male crafter never be without? A handmade paper wallet!!!



This wallet is modelled on one i own, except this one is made entirely from paper. It is fully functioning, as you can see it hold my bank cards, money and even has a business card or photo holder.



I used the new Basic Grey "Wassail" papers which i distressed and inked, some nice flourish stamps and finished it all off with some white false stitching. I added some antique brass eyelets which matched the browns of the paper nicely. The plastic which houses the business card or photo, i cut from a packet that my stamps came in. I used this as it was perfectly clear, thin and flexible enough to cope with when the the wallet was folded.

It's even personalised!



Thanks for looking, hope you like it. :)

Post-it cover.

Of all the easy projects out there to do, a post-it note cover is one that i have not done yet.

So tonight i gave it a quick bash, just a real basic one with a brad and some threads thrown in for good measure. It fastens with a velcro circle, next time i'll slightly alter the score marks as i think i did one too close, it closes a little tight if that makes sense?

Like i said, very basic i know, but i wanted to get the hang of a basic one so i can pass on the knowledge to the kids in the morning......i can see them making these for of thier friends! I was so chuffed with the Pheobe paper i used, i didn't want to stick things all over it. The colours are well cool! :) The brad came from the lovely selection in the Basic Grey Archaic collection.
