Bought a little booklet called, "Tiny Obsessions" by Vickie Bellino and saw the cutest pattern for 1/4" hexies in making a flower magnet....yep!....1/4"!... had just watched Becky Goldsmith's video (from Piece of Cake website mentioned above) where she illustrated how to use a glue pen instead of needle and thread and it works like a charm. I admire all of you who cut out each paper piece by hand but I order mine from
www.paper pieces.com. Incidentally they, also, carry the plastic templates should you like to make your own , ppaper pieces. Have fun!
Another thought...you could see if it's something you would enjoy by making just one or two of the flowers and appliqueing them to a bag, purse, etc. just to get the feel of it.
