Frosted Designs Numbers Challenge

It's Friday!  You know what that means.... It's time for another Fabulous Friday Challenge at Frosted Designs!  This weeks challenge was:  NUMBERS.  I decided to make some bookmarks for some special people. I was inspired by Jen Cushman's Article, A Chic Read, in November/December 2011 Studio Somerset.

I have had some Sari fabric lying around that I have been dying to use for something.  I knew it would be great.  I love Sari fabric.  I like the way it frays when you cut it.  It's just so pretty...frays and all!  I also used some scrap muslin. 

Supplies:
  • Sari and Muslin Fabric strips
  • Pliers
  • Misc. wire
  • Charms by Susan Lenart Kazmer-Industrial Chic
  • Jump rings from an old necklace in my costume jewlery stash
  • Old Keys
  • Vintage Metal Numbers
  • Crop-A-Dile (for punching holes in metal)


I took various strips and tied them together in a knot in a couple places.  I then added various keys and charms to the ends.  I took wire and wrapped it around the strips at the various links along the length of each bookmark. 



I hope this inspires you to use up some of your misc. items lying around your studio.  You can make some cool bookmarks to give away, or sell them pretty quickly!  

I hope you will play along with us at Frosted Designs!


Blessings,
Michelle
