Let's Share Some Handmade Clusters!

 Little handmade clusters are so fun to create and use 

in our creative projects...especially on tags and in journals. So let's create some for each other in the vintage style or shabby chic style. Create at least eight clusters that have a minimum of 3 layers but feel free to use 4-5 layers for added craftiness. Include a little happy note and some information or backstory concerning some of the special materials used. For example, french book page torn from a book bought at a Parisian brocante in 2012 visit to France...or lace is from a local antique shop in my hometown. Knowing the background of a material's origins can be fun and adds a special connection just like when antiquing and knowing a bit of the antique item's history/backstory. Use a variety of layering materials such as tea bags/coffee filters, fabric, vintage book pages, sari/saree silk, lace, trims, buttons, vintage ephemera, printables/junk journaling images, rubber stamped images, diecuts, vellum/tracing paper, vintage piano roll paper, music paper, cheesecloth, bling.
