Pillow Talk




HI!

Today's post is a bit of a long one and I apologize ahead of time. If I had not lost my voice, you would have had a video to watch, but instead I have a rather long, but hopefully detailed picture tutorial for you.

I will be sharing with you some fun stamping techniques and how to make paper cloth. My finished project is a fun little pillow I created using these techniques! You can stop with the initial stamping ideas if you aren't into making a mess or sewing, for a fun way to personalize and create your own background papers.

As for the paper cloth, it is a type of cloth created using muslin, white glue and tissue paper and other thin papers. I decided to try to create my own version of it using Bo Bunny papers, instead of tissue paper or thinner papers. The thicker papers make the finished product less flexible than your traditional paper cloth and therefore it does not bend quite as easily. However, it still bends enough to work for this project.


OUT FOR PUBLICATION


I hope this tutorial was helpful and that it made sense. If you have questions, please let me know!

And if you decide to create one yourself or are inspired in any way to create something from this post, we would love to see it!

Happy stamping, sewing and crafting!!!
