can’t even be bothered to use your brain to look at pictures? put a swatch book on your coffee table and go oooooh aaaaah while feeling fabrics you can also make one for free by going to any fabric store downtown and cutting out your own swatches (ask first). glue those suckers in a sketch book, call it a day.
I’ve only ever given this as a gift before, never made one for myself — but they’re fun! Maybe get yourself a drink/coffee and make an afternoon of it? Invite some friends? A little craft store run, then throw some different patterns, pictures, and quotes on some card stock paper. Really put whatever you want on there, make a few different ones, and then you can go get them laminated for pretty cheap. I don’t have any pictures of my past ones, but there’s some great inspo on Pinterest. Happy Birthday!! 💕
go get magazines or books from the thrift store and make some art. functional sometimes even,,??!?!! this is the lid to a box i will store trinkets in. one of these cut outs is from a magazine i photo copied for a quarter cuz i didnt wanna ruin the original. theres so many possibilities ! ive even used junk mail newspaper ads that usually get thrown away
Having made my own sketchbook I have realized how much I love little things.
Using an old magazine I haven’t touched forever, I have created something personal and weird.
Scotch tape my beloved
