Paperweights

If you love old embroidered pieces as much as I do, 

you'll understand how difficult it is to let them go.

With a box full of old

Table Cloths

Aprons

Napkins

And even a Bed Spread

I decided it was time to

RePurpose.

(some of it anyway)

So

I made Paperweights

Yes, I finally broke down and actually cut some of them up!  

It was a little bit hard for me at first, but I'm over it now.

They were fun to make, and at least the old embroidery is 

Out Of The Box!

":o)

How did I do it?

I purchased some paperweights from my craft store's clearance bin

and 

replaced their paper backing with my embroidered pieces 

(which had been mounted onto acid free mat board) 

Simple as that!
