Woven Background

Scraps, scraps and even more scraps.

Do you save your scraps like I do, then scratch your head and wonder why you saved them?

Well, here is just one idea about what to do with them.

I decided to create a woven background.

Super easy and fun too.

Here's what I did.

I began by cutting my 'scraps' into strips of different width.  Some were 1/2" and some were a 1/4" wide.  I placed a piece of tape along the top of a piece of white cardstock then laid down my vertical strips in a colour combination I was happy with.  Then I took the coordinating strips and wove them horizontally into the first ones by going over and under. 

When I was done weaving them together, I glued the ends in place then used a stitched die to cut the piece out.  I simply glued that onto a white base then die cut the flowers to add to the front.

I hope you will give it a try.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
