Whew! I was afraid I wasn't going to get this one done in time! Actually, I was more afraid I was going to have to change my blog to Pacific time to make this post show up for Friday! Glad I didn't have to cheat.I've been on a weaving kick this week because it's what my 6th grade students have been working with in class. So I decided to mix weaving with some paper pleated flowers, or "lollies," as they're commonly referred to by SU! demos. The lollies are very simple to make - just take a strip of paper and score every 1/4". This is a lot easier to do if you have a scoring board. The big lolly is made out of a 1-1/2" wide strip and the small lolly is a 1" wide strip. Hot glue makes assembly much easier.
The raffia weaving is adhered to a smaller piece of Soft Suede cardstock instead of trying to attach it directly to the card. With the lollies and the button, this is a HEAVY card, definitely one to give in person instead of mailing!
