I am always on the lookout for fun things to use to cover the i-top brads & magnets! I shop through rummage sales, recycling centers & thrift stores. The fun terrycloth swatches you see here are perfect – they were found at the local recycling center – the Creation Station. The pile of fun colored fabric? Those were cut from old t-shirts that were saved from the donation bag in our closet! The stretching material works perfectly and makes the brad nice & smooth! I have also saved tulle – netting – felt – and tissue paper from the garbage pile to use in my art.
The i-top has made me look at fabric scraps with a new outlook!
Note: The layout and cards were created with the new Lucy Bird Collection.
Kim, these projects are awesome!!! Thank you for opening my eyes to new mediums to use with my I-top. Love this!
ReplyDeleteI have loads of fabric scraps from the day I still made clothes for my kids. Love the way the fabric is used on the LO.
