A friend and I got together to make scrappy fabric bead and I saw the below affirmation in her office so used our creations from that day to put this together for her:
The hanger is copper wire from the hardware store shaped and hammered to make it flat and strong.
Sometimes a positive affirmation is a bit sassy. I like that!
Made for my lovely partner in the most recent
Positive Affirmation swap .
After teaching the scrappy bead class here, I had a bowl full of samples to use for more projects.
Figuring out one way to attach them to a Teesha Moore style scrappy square.
And a different style using the fold as a long channel for hanging up the flag.
The front got words and was sent off to another swap partner, it hasn’t arrived yet so this is all I’ll show of it for now.

Soooooo wonderful! They are such a wonderful mix of scrapiness (spellcheck suggests scrawniness, scratchiness, crispiness) and precision.

. More of these are in the works for friends & also to abandon. I’m really liking the hammered wire hangers & trying a few fun shapes. That’s so much easier than I imagined it to be & turns out pretty neat looking.
