Supplies & Gentle Substitutions
Paper (patterned paper, book pages, scraps, or any paper you love)
Adhesive (glue, tape runner, or double-sided tape)
Paper trimmer or scissors
Textiles (fabric, lace, ribbon, or thread)
Ink (for edging, stamping, or adding soft detail)
Lovely Extras (Optional)
Sewing machine or hand stitching
Washi tape, stickers, or labels
Buttons, charms, or small embellishments
Distress tools, chalks, or paints
Coffee or tea staining for vintage texture
Gentle Substitutions
If you don’t have glassine, vellum or lightweight paper works beautifully.
If you don’t have a sewing machine, glue gives the same heartfelt result.
If you don’t have vintage papers, any paper you love is perfect.
This project is about enjoying the process, not having the “right” supplies.
