When you cant buy it, make it!

Brunswick

When you can’t find wise A5 folders – make your own!! Grabbed 2 folders from Salvos, used the jigsaw to cut them down to size and then used hand dyed old linen which I machine embroidered then covered with recycled pvc. Voila! Folders that fit my samples. ?? #upcycled, #recycle #embroider #reuse #oldlinen #renew #remake #sustainableliving @salvosstores #salvos #opshop #newfromold #mendandmakedo
