CRAFTING TIP OF THE WEEK (#89) Crepe Paper

Hello there!

This week I encourage you try Crepe Paper on your crafts with some ideas on how to go about it.

It is an inexpensive way to get wonderful looks especially those who are fans of vintage, shabby chic, heritage & retro designs. Although, you can make them whimsical & easily add them to pages for girls, boys, school pages & special events pages too.

Here are a few of my ideas & photos of the results to get your juices flowing:

1- Make lovely flowers and bunting.




2- Make adorable rosette styled embellishments.




3- Make dimensional fringe by threading a needle & sewing a straight stitch down the center of a few layers of your crepe paper then snip it on each side of the thread halfway-toward the center of the thread, fan apart & you have a gorgeous embellishment.



4-You can make ruffles to add to existing ribbon giving more texture to your projects.


5-You can use decorative edged scissors to cut strips to use as borders.

I hope you give Crepe Paper a try.
