I love to make my own patterns - just copying something like a dress I particularly like.<br /><br />This is a great display idea especially because your collectible hand is still preserved.<br /><br />Otherwise découpage would be really neat.Eileen The Artful Crafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11281091759658067977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14543068.post-27447125888691612862011-08-28T15:41:59.159-04:002011-08-28T15:41:59.159-04:00I like this a lot.

If you go that route, I'd suggest putting a muslin backing on the burlap to make it easier to sew up.DKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07467528935667503979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14543068.post-955632828869248192011-08-27T21:49:56.038-04:002011-08-27T21:49:56.038-04:00Love it! that's so cool! and I love the burlap...Love it! that's so cool! and I love the burlap idea...or even a linen or old feedsack!Mariannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03425905733261271827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14543068.post-79750504374974537592011-08-27T15:03:36.186-04:002011-08-27T15:03:36.186-04:00Great idea I love it!Great idea I love it!Aquariarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03498862508376171975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14543068.post-21131159384356214992011-08-27T09:16:07.513-04:002011-08-27T09:16:07.513-04:00I really like the idea of a head...hmmmm I'll ...I really like the idea of a head...hmmmm I'll have to consider how I'd do that one!Cindy Gimbronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625146240609776265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14543068.post-78211996871669159102011-08-27T09:02:46.904-04:002011-08-27T09:02:46.904-04:00What a cool idea!

You could choose any fabric to colour-co-ordinate with your room and/or your jewellery. Really great!

They don't work as well as you'd think. With the cloth, you can pin earrings where you want them and not worry about breaking them in transport.

When I was a full-time school teacher in Charlotteville, Virginia, I had a very smart, sassy student who had a mother with a great sense of humor. For a holiday gift, she gave me a similar hand except there was only one finger up and you can only imagine which finger. She told me to keep it with me for comfort...
