Elementary Crafting
As a child did you ever make those paper Valentines where you cut two ovals, fold them in half and then cut slits in them? You ‘weave’ the two ovals together and end up with a heart pocket. I’m using that basic idea for the Valentine Swap. Only I’m fusing fabric to a stiff backing – the stuff used at the top of draperies. Then I started playing with couching fibers on to the edges of the slits. It looks pretty woven together. I’m thinking about beading some too. Fun!
