Good afternoon... the past week has been full of drawing and inking the new collection. I am completely in love with it! Always feels good when that happens... But let's go back to Wrenly Christmas...
Do you remember making those paper chains in elementary school? I thought it would be fun to make them out of fabric....last longer, something the kids can still make with me and the fabric is perfect for it.
The amount of fabric you need will depend on the length of the chain.
Two fat 1/4's will yield - Approximately 28 strips that are 1 1/4" wide by 9" long. Once they are put together they will be approximately 72"
You will need a fusible to put in between the fat 1/4's plus enough for 28 1" x 1" pieces.
All you have to do to make this cute chain is fuse together two fat 1/4's.
Cut into 1 1/4" x 9" pieces.
To start the chain press a 1" piece of fusible web onto the inside end of the strip. Fold over and press the front of the other end onto the fusible. Wala...a chain....
Continue this process adding strips to the chain.
That's
it...easy and fun. To add to the fun here is a recipe for my friend
Vaunel's Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies... We make these every year, my
husbands favorite!!!

Sorry Susan--Yes, a "stick" and a "cube" are the same thing--at least with butter : )

Susan--
A stick of butter = 1/4 pound or 1/2 cup butter.

cute project and might try it to freshen up some of my old tired decorations.
Question: what is a cube of butter? tablespoon? stick? other?
