Outlawz DT

 Hi Everyone.

1st of the month means new challenges and today is Outlawz Twisted and ABAC Challenges and later on there will be MAWTT.

1st today is Anything But  A Card for Outlawz.

This time we have a theme of 

Lets Play  Make Something from Childhood.

Now these paper beads bring back some memories.  I made a big tin of these using old magazines and my intention was to make a hanging door curtain, which never happened by the way!!!!

I make them into Dangles for my Journals


I start with pieces of paper, either printed or magazines.

I mark 1cm intervals at top and the bottom but not in straight lines, I alternate the marks so I end up with very long triangles.


I use a quilling tool as these are very small, if bigger I would use a cocktail stick or very fine knitting needle.

Ending up with these, glue on the end.

Then I cover with Modpodge or Clear Nail varnish. 

Then I store them in a takeaway box until needed.

I add different bits - beads, chain or small ephemera.

They look good hanging off journal pages and I love making them.

*************************
Now onto the Twisted Challenge.
Colour challenge

I used a digital image and an inky background from my Reverse Colouring book and scraps of offcuts, stamped sentiment and some leftover crystal art gems.
The camera does alter the colour because in real life they are very similar to the chart.

  1. These are fabulous Wendy, the beads bring back memories, I made some from Fimo modelling clay years ago to put on my lace bobbins. The card is gorgeous xxx
