Thanks for the post. Our little quilt group is having a quilt show Labor Day Weekend and these would be nice little give away items.

What a clever idea!

That's a great idea. I have some old jeans & this sounds fun. Good to give as gifts to sewing friends or maybe sell at craft shows. Thanks for the tute.

looks like a fun thing to do. Thanks!

Thanks for the fun tute. This reminds me of the snowflakes my daughter made at Christmas. She put a huge amount of ground cinnamon in them, and they still smell wonderful.

Interesting.

What would happen if you pressed embellishments in them while they are still wet? I'm thinking a zipper pull, brass button, a belt loop, buttons, etc.

I wonder if you could use paper from your paper shredder??

Hey luvs....what you are doing is making paper!
You are transforming the denim threads from woven fibers to unwoven fibers and molding them into 100% cotton paper objects.
Yes, you can put anything into the wet fibers to embelish them.
You might try other bits of fabric scrap to make other colors, but remember you will only get a solid color. Printed patterns will be lost as the fibers separate from each other in the blender. They might go paper bag brown or muddy
The reason stretch denim doesn't work is because it has stretchy rubber or plastic fibers in it.
The shapes you put in the cookie cutters will dry faster if they are thinner. You don't want to fill the molds up.
..also, press out as much water as you can. Put a paper towel on them, press them with a pan bottom, peel the paper towel off. You can add stuff anytime.
After they are dry you can do anything to them you can do to paper!
( You might be surprised to find out that Y'all have just joined the prestigeous and ancient society of 100% rag papermakers who have been doing this for hundreds of years! - google it and see!)
Yes, you can use paper from your shredder! There are how to-s online, but it is the same technique basically.

I should think that it would be really cute. Be sure to post some of the ones you do so we can see your artistic creations.
