Welcome

I love answering your questions. If you ask them in the comment section, I have no way to answer you (if you haven't heard from me, that is why). If you use the "EMAIL ME" in the left column of this page, I will be able to respond to you. You can also use it if you want to be added to my newsletter. Laura

Gypsy Tambourine Designed for Alpha Stamps

The tambourine is 4 ½” wide.  I started with a lid from a package of Laughing Cow cheese wedges.
I glued a double strip of cardstock around the edge.  To accommodate the symbols (which are made from brass coins) I cut rectangular openings in the cardstock.  To make the symbols I punched holes in the brass coins and slid them on needles.  I used needles because they are stiff.  I glued the needles between the layers of cardstock.
I wrapped the sides with seam binding tape and glued coin and beaded fringe to the sides.
If you shake the tambourine it jingles!
