Paper fabric

Found an interesting book at the library, Strands by Jacqueline Myers-Cho, creating unexpected fabrics. Decided to try making some paper fabric following her instructions.


I covered white tissue paper with watered down glue.




While the paper was still wet I covered it with thread and lavendar flowers. This added texture and stability to the paper.



I applied another layer of tissue paper to sandwich the threads together and covered the paper with another layer of glue.




I added some paper Gemma had saved from her holiday in Greece.




As it was a lovely day I dried the paper outside.





This is the finished paper - looks great!
