Yesterday I decided to turn my Collage-y Inchies into tiny merit badge blanks. I cut pieces of coordinating thread, doubled-over washi tape, and a cool fibrous, textured paper I got in a swap. Then I (sort of) arranged them, hit them with a piece of masking tape, and taped them to the back of the inchie. I’m envisioning them as card fronts, so I’ll probably add some sort of merit-ish text as needed.
I was so happy with those that I wanted to make some more today from a masterboard I had on hand. These are…a little scraggly, but they fought me so hard that at that point I was done in every sense of the word .
Thanks, all! The second set is growing on me as I get some distance from the frustration and acknowledge that they don’t all have to be crammed full. And also that some of those threads are super long; I can cut them and use the extra lengths to fill in gaps.
