Fun Ways to Use Fringe Trim - On a Tote and a Card!

I just love fringe, and the colors and varieties that Expo International has is amazing!!!   I used the same fringe in 2 very different ways, one on a summer tote bag and the other in a card!  Lets start with the tote first.



Here is a video on how to make this fun fringe summer tote.



Simple supplies needed to make this toe, a couple of fun trims from Expo International, fabric glue, and a jute tote!!  



I used the shanti 2"multi color fringe paired with the 4" chainette trim in gold layered on top of each other on the Parker bar handle tote bag.  



I took some of the fun gold fringe left over and decided to see how it would work on a boho card.  I paired it with some washi tape feathers I made and it turned out super cute!!


Here is the video on how I made the card



I start with making the washi feathers first.



1) Start with some crafting wire add a strip of washi tape to right down the middle.



2) Fold over the washi tape over on itself and the wire.



3) Trim the top and bottom to make a feather shape.



4) Using scissors fringe out the tape to make it look like a feather.



Here is the batch I made for the card.  Details on how to make them wider in the video!



I then layered the trio of feathers over the flower with a little of the gold Expo Trim under it for a fun boho layered flower competel with a vintage button on top.


You do not need much of anything else going on in this card since the boho flower with the fringe and feather steals the show!!


I used the wonderful glue from Supertite to help hold all the layers of this card together.  I used the All Purpose Universal Glue and its hold is amazing!!
