EPHEMERA EMBROIDERY BOX
Upcycling Floral Fabrics
I decided to delve into my own collection of clothes with floral designs and floral embroidery. Instead of letting them go to waste, I realized I could upcycle these fabrics and breathe new life into my art journal pages. By cutting out various floral motifs, I could create a vibrant collage of textures and colors - a true celebration of nature's beauty.
We all love to have ready-to-use embellishments to add to tags, art journal pages, and junk journals. Ephemera and collage pieces never are too much.
In this video, I share how going through some old clothes can bring you a box full of embroidery pieces or floral printed motifs on which you can hand stitch some flowers.
