Amazing results with such simple supplies - that's a GREAT technique. Recycling a coffee cup sleeve knocked me back in my chair! LOL. Thank you so much for the ideas.

I'd forgotten about this technique which some of my mom's friends used. My mom only looked on - the craft gene seemed to have skipped a generation (her at least) but fortunately hasn't skipped my kids or grandkids! Interestingly I have a newspaper clipping of her and friends doing this work in a Sioux City Iowa newspaper back in the 50's. But as I said, she was an onlooker! Thanks for posting!
