[rsingr100]

I love the folds in this paper - would make gorgeous flowers! I am not sure where to get some, but would like to try. tfs!

[scrappyjak1]

There's something to think about. My mum used rags on my hair and I did the same on my daughters when she was younger. TFS Jackie

[LindaLap]

Wow another great idea! Thank you!

[CraftyLoops]

OMG I remember my Mammy doing this with my hair.....I was able to sit on my hair as a wee one. Its close to that now, but not quite. Boy does this bring back memories. Makes such a pretty trim on a scrapbook page. Lee x

[Jennings644]

@CraftyLoops I'm so glad it has brought back so many memories back for you Lee. My daughters hair looked stunning when I did this for her and everyone else had the sort of plait but she had the fancy one lol. Hugs Fi xx

[KimScrapper]

I have never seen this, would make a great headband and you could make it out of any material and get the same cool effect, tfs

[Jazzyjess49]

This would make a great handle on a bag or a basket. I might have to replace my hanger on my "Create" sign in my room! TFS

[Jazzyjess49]

I had boys, so I never had anyone's hair to do. But this looks fantastic. TFS

[Tfriday77]

I have never seen that before, Fiona. Great idea to do with hair. I agree LuvbugCraft on a great way to use for a Banner. TFS... Hugs!!

[lavendarrose29]

[gazajude]

Love it Fiona, when you said you use to do it with your daughters hair I clicked, mum used to pleat my hair when it was long, awesome job, I haven;t seen anyone either on YT, so an Jennings Orginal, heheheheh. Love it.

Wow that's a great idea - I remember making dolls out of paper twist years ago - have lots of pamphlets on making the dolls - but this is something I would never have thought of - TFS

[xannero1]

Great idea as always :-) Tfs

Hugs, Anne

[OpaqueWhisper]

Yeah know I have never seem this paper anywhere an I can not imagine how you would do this to hair. Hugs Sheron xx

[mrskiwichris]

I like this, wonder if it would work with crepe paper? I'll never know till I try it hugs from chris in oz

[Jennings644]

@mrskiwichris Thats what we used all those years ago, because if cut right, it spreads one paticular way and not the other!!! xx

[scrappymimi1]

I m still try to figure out how to do this on hair...b cuz lawd knows my lil girl hates to have her hair brushed, and if this hairstyle last for days, it would save me alot of headaches....lol ....tfs....hugs mimi

[AFabulousFeelin]

i forgot about the twist paper as a kid my mother and i used these all the time! i will be going to the craft store and picking some up...going to make some retro crafts like i used to using this paper :)

[Jennings644]

@AFabulousFeelin Fabulous and I hope you share your creations with us all :) I love it when something triggers an old memory off xx

[alittleshabbychic]

Hi Fiona, just love this idea, so cute! Another great tutorial! hugs Tricia xxx

[Jennings644]

@alittleshabbychic You could glue the paper down to a canvas as a boarder and then fill the wholes with little sprays etc, great way to play with this paper lol lol xx

[giftshoppe2]

Great technique! TFS!

[Jennings644]

@giftshoppe2 Thank you Linda xx

[Dare2bme71]

Oh Hell, my imagination button broke, and I can't see where your gonna go with this, so I guess I will set back and wait til the magician gets her thing done and shows us poor imagineless folks some inspiration.. he he.~GIN

[Dare2bme71]

Is this Raffeta type paper? that you un raveled? I'm confused, hell that's not a hard thing to do confuse me.. he he~GIN

[Jennings644]

@Dare2bme71 Its like raffia Gin and strong xx

[dottygin]

evening fiona, perhaps you could use this for a handle for one of your hand made purses. light weight ones. iv never seen this before. xxxxx

[Jennings644]

@dottygin I used to do my daughters hair like it and it looked better than the every day Pippy Longstocking hairstyle lol lol lol.

[chirho41]

It would make a nice border on a project. I am thinking of trying it out on strips of materal. Hugs, Beth

[Jennings644]

@chirho41 Great Beth, let us see what you come up with ok? xx

[theminiscrapper]

[Jennings644]

@theminiscrapper LOL LOL LOL Well I will try anything and my mind is always full of ideas hee hee xx

[LuvBugCrafts]

Hi Fiona, this would be nice to attach banner pieces to. It looks very sturdy and would hold a bit of weight :) I will have to see if I can find that stuff here. tfs

[Jennings644]

@LuvBugCrafts Yes I agree with you :) xx
