#scraptember2025, Beads and Burlap

Guys, is this not the cutest tiny banner?! It's about 10 inches long and will fit so great in a Halloween junk journal. Can you even? I love it so much. 

#scraptember2025, Coffee Dye

...the twist is, I used black tea instead of coffee for this one, thanks to Grungy Stamper on Instagram. Never thought about black tea, but I'm glad I tried it. It seems to dye much quicker than 'regular' tea or coffee, but maybe that's just me. 

I had some muslin in my sewing box from when I made a ton of masks during "the covid years", so I added that to the solution as well as a piece of lace, twill ribbon, and a bit of cheesecloth. 

After I used the black tea for what I wanted, I added just a few drops of rusty hinge distress reinker and did a test piece (see photo)....

...and then I did another test piece and added more rusty hinge and lots of drops of crackling campfire distress reinker. It isn't quite the orange I was hoping for, but I like it and will use it. I will, however, do more cheesecloth in Halloween colors coming up soon.

#scraptember2025, Paper Bag

Another prompt not on the list for today's project; #paperbag. For this adorable little accordion file I used 3 mini bags (7 1/4 x 3 1/2 inch size) and some of the grunge and texture papers I made for previous prompts. And a couple of Halloween charms as well. I love how cute it is! Now to make some tags or tickets to fit into the pockets. Super simple to make; here's a link to one of many tutorials. 

So easy, and so cute! 

#scraptember2025, Acetate

For today's prompt, I used acetate in my photo frame. You can't tell by the picture, unfortunately, but the backing is silver mirror paper. Super cool looking in real life, sorry it's not showing up for you here. 

The frame is one of many from the Mirror, Mirror digital collection on ko-fi by Margreth of Seven Plaza. 

Clusters made from labels I made using the grunge pieces I made the other day. 

Labels used for the clusters were stamped and cut from the grungy papers I made previously. 

#scraptember2025, Pocket

Today's project is a giant pocket tag. Mine measures 9x4 1/2 and is a design by SevenPlaza. Margreth used packaging for her prompt, but I didn't have a piece big enough for what I wanted, so I used a large scrap instead. I really like it. I will call her Esther June.

Large pocket (please excuse my inky fingers!)

Check out my bee charm...I turned it into a button. Isn't it so cute.
