    No I used 1/2" strips I don't like the ones done with very thick strips....just too bulky looking

    I agree with you...I cut mine down to 1/2" , too, and they work better and go farther.

    Very nice! Will definitely bookmark this one. There always seems to be another project on this site to add to the "to do" list

    Would this work with t-shirt material? start at the bottom of the shirt and cut in a long pattern around and around until you get to the armholes? Would the fabric work. Nice and soft I would think.
