Grungy, shabby clusters

This is another fabulous design from Crafty by Toni that I instantly fell in love with and had to get down to biz making some. Toni started with corrugated cardboard, of which I had none, so I improvised. (See last photo.)  Thanks for looking. 

A piece of muslin I stained with alcohol ink.

Dyed cheesecloth

A piece of lace ribbon from Dollar Tree. 

Seriously. A piece of kraft cardstock and the paper crimper and I'm good to go. I will never get rid of this ancient paper crimping tool from Fiskars. Anybody else still have, or even remember, the crimper tool from Fiskars? One of the things I will never, ever purge. As seldom as I use it, I love having it whenever I do.
