CLASS DESCRIPTION:
How To Make Fabric Paper:
I think we should lobby for 5 seasons instead of 4. The fifth one should be called Back-to-School and not just because the kids are getting back into a routine. It's the time of year you walk into any office supply or discount store and the front aisles are filled and overflowing with new, delicious, colorful art supplies. Can't you just smell all the artsy goodness when you enter the store? It can wake up your senses as much as evergreens and candy canes!
Now, I'm sure the creators of these bins of goodness don't label them as art supplies, but nevertheless, that's what I call them and I stock up because the prices are super!
I love taking advantage of back-to-school sales to replenish my studio with kids' construction paper and anything else I use a lot like glue sticks, pens, crayons and composition notebooks. I especially love white or other light colors of construction paper because I can do so much with it, like make my own Fabric Paper. (And, if it's not school-supply time of year, that doesn't stop me from finding construction paper because it's available year round.)
Have you ever tried making Fabric Paper? It's probably more fun than you should be allowed to have. Fabric Paper is simply a combination of paper and fabric put together in such a way that the characteristics of both are strengthened.
By using a few basic supplies from office supply and fabric stores you can create beautiful Fabric Paper that people will drool over. (Just watch that they don't drool ON it. LoL!)
After playing with colorful shapes of oil pastels on paper, you'll learn how to turn construction paper into a beautifully pliable, stitchable Fabric Paper. It's an amazing, yet incredibly simple technique that doesn't use messy glue nor does it require hours of drying time. BONUS!
Although Fabric Paper isn't washable, you can use it for all kinds of fun projects like journal covers, greeting cards or post cards, for wallhangings or art quilts, bookmarks, and you can even make your own charms and beads. I bet you'll think of lots more ways to use your awesome fabric-paper, too. Using construction paper is definitely not just for kids!
