Flowers, cats, butterflies, heart patterns and more can all be used to make wonderful designs which can be embellished with beads, stamped designs, craft stickers, and metallic, variegated and silk threads. Just cut out the template, follow the pattern and wind colourful threads around the card shapes. It's fun and many different effects can be achieved easily. Complete beginners and experienced crafters will be inspired by Polly's innovative approach to card making. · Over 50 step-by-step photographs · Simple projects and helpful patterns · Cards for any occasion · Fun and easy to doJune 05
If you're interested in producing your own Spirelli-style cards then this book shows you how to get startedIt'll teach you how to create your own notches with which to wind the thread around, techniques for actually winding the thread, and ideas aplenty on how best to incorporate thread designs into lovely greetings cards. What we especially like in this book though are the 'tabby cat' cards made by winding thick wool around the card notches to create a coat so realistic you'll be stroking it all day!
