Reclaimed rustic wood frame

My dear hubby is in charge of the hard work of cutting and making the wood frames for my screen prints. After each time he makes me a screen,I have bits of cut wood I have a hard time throwing (immediately thoughts running through my mind-what if I'll need this piece for some other project...what if this exact piece will save me from hunger one day lol etc.)
So finally yesterday I found the right job for my little wood pals!
A few days ago I got in the mail a BEAUTIFUL ACEO by munieca that traveled all the way from Argentina to my door steps and the little wood pieces I got, fit perfectly to the petit size of the card...So here you go my new frame and a How To for your reading pleasure

and remember -DON"T THROW !!! UPCYCLE

I'm starting with ongoing Friday DIY project and today I have for you a really easy 10 step (actually 8!!! step) tutorial of making a simple fabric flower for your crafts and jewelry needs You'll need only three things- Wide ribbon or rectangular fabric scrap approx 5x40 cm long (can be longer or shorter depending on the size of the flower you are looking to make) Center piece Needle and thread 1. Take your ribbon/rectangular fabric piece 2. Fold it in half and iron it for a crisp edge (you can skip this step if you're using a ribbon) 3. Fold right corner to touch the opposite side and then do the same to the left corner to get a symmetrical triangle 4. Make a 1 cm fold downward to the right .Now do the same to the left 5. Keep folding till you reach the end of the fabric [each time making the fold 1 cm wider ] 6+7. Hold in the center with your fingers or a pin 8+9. TWIST the folds 10. Sew your center piece And you are DONE! ****If you make your own flowers using this tutorial,you welcome to send me your photos and I promise to publish them in this post***
