Hi Meg here with todays posting. I would like to share with you a technique for paper bargello.
Bargello is a type of needlepoint embroidery consisting of upright flat stitches laid in a mathematical pattern to create motifs. (As defined by Wikipedia)
Paper bargello is an easy way to get that intricate look using scraps of leftover paper cut and arranged into strips.
Here are some My Minds Eye paper scraps that I had left over from a previous project.
I used my paper trimmer to cut them into 1 inch strips.
I then used my Xyron to apply adhesive to the back ( double stick tape would work nicely too)
I then stuck the strips down on a scrap of card stock (this will not show so it doesn't matter what it looks like)
Using your trimmer again, cut in 1 inch strips but this time going cross-wise against the grain,
Then layer your strips in alternating rows onto your card front.
I hope that you enjoyed this technique and will give it a try.
Until next time....!
