One day I had an idea....

I bought these little colorful wooden things at wal-mart

quite a while ago with intentions of doing something with

them. Who knows what - the idea escaped me.

Recently I thought about using them as a template for wrapping

floss. You can print out this page, enlarge it to the size you desire.

Then you can cut the design out of firm cardboard.

There are 2 ways to do this.

One way is to cover the

cardboard with aida cloth, scraps of cross stitch or just cloth.

Then glue 2 pieces together to make a front & a back in order

to hide all of the bad edges. or the other way is to just

take one piece of cardboard, cover it on both sides with fabric,

or you could paint & stencil it, then

at the seams or edges apply a braid.

Generally I try my ideas first before suggesting anything.

But in this case you could play around with it since I havent

had the time to do so. I would love to know if you

do try it. It would be great to see some photos of one.

Have some fune with it - personally your own

floss wrappers!

Have fun with this.
