Using fabric

Fabric can be used in many ways to enhance scrapbook pages. Fabric can be used as a background or as a border to enhance dimension and texture to your scrapbook. Various shapes and sizes can also be cut or punched out of fabric. These items can then be glued onto your background or borders.

The various colors, textures, and weaves of fabric allow a great deal of creativity and imagination.

Some fabrics look great frayed. Cut a little larger than you require, then pull a thread across the grain where you want the fraying to stop. Using a needle, carefully tweak out the threads until you have the desired effect. This effect works especially well with hessian and other large weave fabrics.
