DIY With Fabric...

Hello Scottie Crafters, 

Here is another tip I found this morning for you, Ladies. 

You will need:
- Common craft cutting blade
- Some fabric straps
- A needle
- A hair straightener



Prepare some fabric straps... you should cut yours in bias grain for actual bias tape!
(this is normal fabric scrap...not a bias grain one..
This post is mean to demo how the cutter case works as a bias tape maker)


Remove the end of the cutting blade


Remove the blade inside as well


Fold your fabric strap whichever way you want to bias tape to be... 


Insert the strap into the blade casing


A needle to push it will be helpful


Pull the strap from the tip...


Here comes the bias tape!!!


Use the thinner casing just the same way to product thinner bias tape


Easy Peasy...Quick! 


 Firm the shape with a hair straightener


What do you think?
Will you try this?
Let me know if this is useful!


Thanks for stop by...
