Hey everyone, today I’m doing something a little different
and am having a go at some paper weaving! I’m using Cocoa Vanilla Studio Heart
& Home collection and started off with that beautiful stripy paper called Harvest.
I spent a bit of time cutting out all the coloured stripes. They are quite
narrow which is why I had the idea for the paper weaving.
Once my stripes were cut, I then cut them all in half. I
then took a spare piece of cardstock and arranged the stripes in colour order,
onto the cardstock in a vertical orientation. When I was about happy with the
order and the size of the stripes altogether, I taped one end of all the
stripes to the cardstock. I then took the horizontal stripes and began weaving
them into the vertical ones, under, over, under, over etc. I repeated this
until all stripes were weaved.
To secure the weaving I carefully peeled the taped ends from
the cardstock and turned over the weaved piece. I then made sure the weaving
was quite tight and then I put tape all over the back so the stripes couldn’t
move. I ended up with a beautiful piece of paper weaving about 6” square.
I then set about making my layout. I added the weaved paper
piece to a white card background, added two mounted photos and then added
several pieces of Floral Ephemera. I also added a title using the beautiful
gold foiled Title Ephemera and a few phrases cut from the Golden Fields paper.
I finished off with a few Puffy Stickers and some splatters
of gold paint.
Thanks so much for joining me today and happy scrapping
