The BEST rainy Sunday

 There's nothing quite as cosy as being in the barn, with rain drumming on the roof , the heating on and a fun task ahead of me....and this morning was all about freebies
 As you know (or maybe you don't?) every time you spend £25 on our website (full priced items, not including p&p) you get a free gift box....the more £25's spent the bigger your free gift box is.
This mornings job was to cut and fold stacks and stacks of fabrics and felts so they are ready for free gift box making :-)

Look at these fabrics!

 I love the colour pallets of both these fabric collections. 
They are both Gorgeous (with a capital G!)
All our fabrics are sold as fabric (fat quarters, half metres & longer pieces)  AND as Fabric Felt (fabric and felt bonded together - perfect for bow making, and all sorts of other crafty endeavours)
They are all in the What's New section here:  https://www.paper-and-string.net/what-s-new

I can't wait to show you these.....!

I am SUPER excited to show you our new handmade-by-us  product:
 These our our NEW felt banners - made from our Natural premium felt...they have a wooden dowel....and a faux-leather hanging cord...and they are plain so you can Decorate them yourself...brilliant, right?
 Each banner is made from two layers of felt so you can stitch and decorate your banner front then glue (or sew) the two layers together and all your handiwork is hidden :-)
I made this bunny banner ::
 and added some loopy trim to finish the edges - but you can leave them plain, add ric rac or pom pom trim
 one metre of loopy trim was enough to edge the banner and the left over piece was wrapped around a felt ball to make one of the flowers :-)
I hope you like the NEW banners as much as I do?
you can find them on our website here:
