Heather's Tips: Getting Creative with Twine

Getting Creative with Twine

I don’t know about you but I have so many rolls of twine that I don’t ever think I’ll be able to use it up.  So, I’m often trying to think up ways to add it to my pages. It’s actually very versatile and there are so many colors and styles now available.

Here are some suggestions

1. Thread it through a button
2. Make a bow
3. Wrap it around a photo
4. Cover a chipboard shape or letter
5. Crochet an embellishment
6. Stitch
7. Create a border
8. Create a shape
9. Create swirls on your page
10. Make a rough circle and place under embellishments or photo
11. Form into a word
12. Embellish an embellishment (like a tail for a kite)
13. Weave it
14. Hang photos or banners from it
15. Make a frame
16. Make a sunburst design with it
17. create pompom or loopy flowers
18. Create a lattice pocket and add tickets etc.
19. Use as journaling lines
20. Create a tassel

Here are a few examples

For this bike layout  I created spokes for a wheel

here I created a banner shape and threaded on some buttons for interest

For this Christmas page I created a giant star and hung photos and embellishments from it

On this page I created a frame around a photo and also added some border interest
