QKR and EUREKA Faux Stitching

Hello,  Today for Eureka and her sister company QKR Stampede  we will learn the easy technique of stitched paper without the machine. Now I know this has been around a very long while..heck even other companies have made template after template to make the task easier..but these can get pricey and even though I love a short cut..I love being frugal too :)

Supplies:

mouse pad

large needle or needle tool

12 inch ruler

thin line black marker

1 piece of paper same length as the one you are piercing

When I faux stitch I set the item to be pierced down on the mouse pad and place ruler along the area I believe I want pierced...i try to stay within 1/16 - 1/8th of an inch off the edge of the paper..this gives the item a more polished look. I then begin using the needle tool every 1/4 in mark and poke. "see picture".

After I have poked all holes I then take the piece of paper that I cut to be the same length and place it slightly off the center of poked holes. 

I then ran my black marker down those holes.....Wa La ! Easy faux stitching..I have also realized if you want the stitches to look like denim thread that Copic marker Y26 is perfect for this :)

                                                                                     

It's MONDAYYYYYYYY!

So what you must do is of course become a follower and then comment.

Also for another entry in the pot, I will be putting this on FB and if you share..I care....

The winner will be selected by random generator aka my granddaughters wee lil hand picking the name out of the box. I have no problem shipping this to where ever as long as you understand that I will not take responsibility if it becomes lost over the big blue. 

There is bobbles,ribbons- 1 shear roll- 1 yellow roses ribbon roll and a yard of Maya Roads jute braid ,adhesive craft dots by Thermo Web, flowers,chipboard tags, Blumenthal  buttons, and last but certainly not least.....a brand new DCWV Collage Art Stack!
