My main focus this week is to get my card suitcase completely finished. I still have to do a little bit, but for the most part, it's complete. The idea was to have the letters "C-A-R-D-S" on each little flag, but I still have yet to get the letters on.
First, I printed out an outline of a diamond and cut it out. (I'll have the actual size diamond I used at the bottom of this post.)
I laid the diamond on top of the fabric and pinned it.
Then (obviously) you cut the fabric according to the shape.
I folded the diamonds in half, so that they became double triangles and ironed them with starch. (I tried sewing them, but my machine decided to freak out on me:(
Next, I ran natural Jute string through the tops of the triangles and pinned the fabric to the jute string on the backside.
Ta-Da! (after clothes-pinning it!)
I still have yet to do the letters, but those will be very soon!
Next, I would like to show you a little something else I did today!

The secret?
Krylon Make it Stone Spray!
So cool! I was kind of doubting that it would be the texture it said it would be, but it did exactly as it said it would.
Unfortunately, I'll need to give it a second coating because a little bit of the brown is showing through, but I am very pleased with the results...:)
