While I haven 't had a chance to crochet for a while, I am really missing it and I can't wait to get back to it next week. But I've done some other cool things besides preparing for the fair.
I love a new project to tackle and making a jewellery display for our
collaboration pieces was kind of a challenge. I wanted it to look clean and contemporary but also with a little twist.
I painted
the frame, took the picture out and replaced it wit foam board.
Do you think I succeeded?

I love the bended semi-transparant paper - it's so easy to hang earrings from too.

I also made new price tags from the left over transparant paper and foambord (used for making model houses). I'm so happy with the new look: clean, clear and modern. And sooo easy to make too.

Print your text on semi-transparant paper (I used 110g). Cut it out with a knife.

Measure how long the price tag is and cut the foamboard a bit longer.

To make the little cut line in the foamboard, I keep the part where I cut it out to put my ruler on. Makes cutting much easier.

Slide your knife, while holding it a bit to the side, through the foambord.

Then squeeze the paper into the foamboard.

So easy to make and good to look at. :)
