Catfood Cardboard, Part III

Front Cover, with Ugly Belt

Graphed Moleskine, Stork Scissors, Stylus and Pin Felt

Silk Ribbon and Carbon Transfer Paper

More Needle Felt and Transfer Patterns

Here's my latest Catfood Cardboard Craft Organizer. I found the elastic ribbon belt that holds it together at the Salvation Army, cut it to size and sewed the suede and clasp back on by hand. That seemed like a good idea while I was doing it, but it's actually Très Uglé, and I must find another closure. A vintage belt buckle? Aside from the belt, this is both useful and cute, although while making it I gouged the function key of my Mac laptop when the Exacto knife rolled off the table onto it. Craftiness has a price! (Tutorial of sorts here.)
