The list of advantages that come along with being apart of the blogosphere continues to grow. Last night, I added three new reasons why I love this lil crafty community:
- inspiring readers to try their own craft projects at home
- finding readers who send in photographical footage of their amazing DIY projects
- being inspired by said reader's photographs to try and recreate the project on my own (to be completed at a later date)
Whatever am I talking about, you ask?

"There's a man at Eastern Market [a market in DC's Capitol Hill neighborhood] that sells these old printing press letters in all shapes and sizes. I think they're so cool but didn't know what I could do with them (except maybe buy the huge ones to hang up somewhere), and then thought of buying little ones and making stationary. So with Christmas coming up, I thought I would try my hand at being crafty. I think my sister is really going to like them though! I tried a bunch of different ways of setting the letters, but she's 20, so I thought she'd like 'funky' stationary the best."
I think your sister will love them! I know I would.
Ta-da!
Couldn't agree more that the raffia gives it that little something extra.
Have a project or redesign you've recently completed? Prove it!

These are so cute! Whoever made them is quite crafty. She must be awesome!
ReplyDeleteOh How LOVELY!!!!
ReplyDeleteThose are adorable! What a great idea. You could mix up the colors and fonts and make them for other people.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea! You could also go a step further and do heat embossing like Martha Stewart does...requires a little extra work but the results are super-professional (at least for Martha...)
