Inchies and Twinchies

Tuesday 7th and Thursday 9th of April

Confused? Inchies technique uses 1" squares of "goodness" to create an effective and unusual layout. Just to confuse you more, twinchies uses the same principles but 2" squares are filled with photos, embellishments and other items that you may want to include.


Supplies needed:
Five photos 1" (or 2") square. These can be individual photos, parts of a photo that has been cropped or one large photo that is trimmed into enough squares to cover the grid in this layout (think outside the square!). You can use more or less photos if desired (10 grid squares in all).
One piece of cardstock.
One scrap of cardstock for journaling.
Alphabet for a one word or short title.
Assortment of patterned paper scraps, buttons, brads, felt, flowers, tickets, fabric, etc.
Large brackets.
Embroidery thread and needle.
Neutral ink.
Gel pen for journaling.

Foam mat for hole piercing (eg, 12" x 12" Midjemoo mat).
Sandpaper, hole piercer, ruler, pencil, eraser, foam tape if desired.

Techniques used:
Inchies/twinchies technique, grid formation, template use, sanding, inking, painting, hand journaling, photo cropping, hand stitching.
