Here is something fun I made using fabric
scraps, and beads. These are tabs that can
be glued onto the sides of pages in a journal.
Closer view. I think this is my favorite one.
I first threaded beads, and bits of fabric onto a large
safety pin then closed the pin back up.
Next I took torn strips of fabric cut to fit the width of the
pin. The strip was then folded over the bottom piece of the pin.
For this one I also added two pieces of lace. They were just
layered over the fabric.
Next step was to take to the sewing machine and sew along the fold. Trick
here is to get close the bottom of the pin, but not sew over it. Lesson learned!
You can see this one after it was stitched. The
folded fabric opens up, and you can put this over a journal
page to use as a book tab.
These remind me so much of the little things we made to be
traded in Sarah's Girl Scout troop. WOW that is a blast from the
past thinking about that!
After the sewing was done I added some embellishments
to them. Resin, and fabric flowers. It just adds
a little something.
If you didn't have a sewing machine you could hand stitch them, or glue the folded
edge to seal.
Love them! I need to get some more silver safety pins. All I have
in the larger pins was the gold.
