Lisa and I have an upcoming meeting with a corporate associate. We are presenting a potential new endeavor to them, and we want to leave them with a wonderful impression of this possible venture! Our outline of ideas will be on these altered clipboards, which each person will receive and keep. I glued on pages from an old calendar I had been hoarding. Then I attached one of our business cards. I used modge podge because I had inherited it. Elmer’s works great too. Wrinkles formed in my paper, and I embraced that look. I smushed all the bubbles as flat as can be, and called it good. For the ribbon ties, I cut lengths of rayon seam binding and the cream stuff might be for drape or upholstery use (?). I got them wet, crunched them up and let them dry. To add some interest to the cream stuff, I blotted them with my used tea bag.
Now I wish I had made an extra one to keep!
I would tea dye a damask tablecloth I already owned, and use burlap as sort of a runner/second layer. Several lifetimes ago, I had a cloth doll business, and tea dyed the muslin for their bodies. It's an easy process, and produced just the look I was after. There is no need to iron damask anymore. I really prefer the soft and rumpled look.
