Oh my gosh my work marathon for the past week has come to an end!! I have worked so many hours at my part time jobs this week that I have not had time to post or time to craft or time to read all those blogs I follow!! Time to catch up!!
I am sharing a project that I completed a couple of weeks ago. Most of you know that I am a sewer and have lots of patterns just hanging around. I decided to put them to good use!!
First I tore the tissue pattern pieces into smaller pieces and found a styrofoam ball and some mod podge. I then just mod podged the torn pieces on the ball. I did several layers to cover the white of the ball. EASY!! Voila........some unique decorative balls!!

What a great way to use patterns. I really like the look. Sorry to hear you have had to be working so many hours.
ReplyDeleteLOVE these! And I have tons of old patterns -- I knew I was keeping them for a reason!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! I just love clever minds and that you had on this project for sure. Have fun and thanks for joining my newbie party.
ReplyDeleteI A wreath for Christmas and made the very same balls for them. I love the graphics on pattern tissue paper. They turned out great. I'm visiting from the newbie party and am a new follower.
ReplyDeleteHi Kari, These are adorable! I actually have everything on hand to make these.

Hi Kari, What a cute and cleaver idea. I've been wrapping everything up in jute lately, maybe I will have to switch to my old patterns that I don't use.

The noise you just heard is me smacking myself in the head for not thinking of this! I am a sewer with lots of old patterns and keep thinking, 'what can I do with these?' I've seen some ideas in Blogland, but I'm just lovin' these, Kari. If you have more old pattern posts, feel free to swing by and leave me a note--you may want to give them their own category ;). Hugs, Kim
ReplyDeleteHello! I found you through Wow Us Wednesdays. This is such a smart idea! I always see old sewing patterns and think, "What in the heck could you do with those??" Now I know!
