Hand Piecing with Paper or something else ???
So the Hexi Bug bit me! I ordered a hexagon paper punch and it should be arriving tomorrow. I spend a good bit of time out of the house with idle hands so i plan to make a hand sewing kit to take along. It's about time i improve my horrible hand sewing skills.
I've seen where some people use copier paper and others use folder weight paper. I was wondering what works best? I would prefer to not have to buy anything else.
Is there any reason i can't re-use food boxes? I love to recycle so i am not against using anything i might have in my trash bin.
What about plastic? Milk jugs are thin enough to use as a template but is there any reason i shouldn't? I figured they are heavy enough to use many, many times and bendable so they won't be rock hard.
If the Hexi's work out, then i would love to be able to make my own shapes and sizes as needed for other piecing projects. I love how there are soooooo many possibilities. I also love all of the various opinions everyone here gives!
