Do you have any old diagonal striped paper laying around??? If so, you are in luck! You can use some of that old paper to create NEW chevron patterned paper!, the best part...it's super simple!!!
Here's what you need...
- 2-identical pieces of 12x12 diagonal striped patterned paper (or 6x6 if you want to create 6x6 paper)
- paper trimmer
- 1 (or even 2) pieces of 12 x12 paper to use as a background (you will not see this paper, so you can use up some old, ugly paper that you have lying around---I'm pretty sure we all have some of that!)
- adhesive
Step 1: Lay the 2 sheets of diagonal paper side by side |
Another example of chevron paper, this was cut from diagonal paper with uneven stripes. |
Love this quick and easy "chevron paper"! So simple - yet so clever.
ReplyDeleteThis is so great! Brilliant if you need another pattern in the same colourway.
ReplyDeleteThat chevron paper looks so easy - fantastic idea!
ReplyDeleteI have to make some chevron paper now!
ReplyDeleteThat is such an awesome idea!! I've got to try it, especially since I don't have any chevron paper in my stash.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these ideas! I've been following along with the Counterfeit Kit challenges for some time now (here and other blogs), just haven't participated yet. I did want to let you know that I linked to this post when I talked about hexagons on my blog. Have a look here: http://ecoscrapbook.blogspot.com/2012/10/scrapbooking-diy-hexagons.html
