A Kiki class ~ Making the Heirloom Secret Scroll Journal

This creation holds a place to keep all your snippets and jewelry/sewing box treasures! Perhaps secret notes, a feather from your walk, or a locket of hair from a loved one.

The idea of a written scroll goes way back into time, and this is a way to bring it to the future! To hang it on a wall, or roll it up and keep in a hidden special place! It will be so truly special, that you will want to make more in the future as gifts! (Weddings, valentine, or a birthday!)

We will be creating this, by doing some light embroidery, hand sewing, stamping, working with sari ribbons, and special fabrics.

Also adding hidden messages inside pockets of the scroll Journal/banner!

These tiny love letter messages will be made from made from vintage ledger paper in your kit from 1888!

Supplies :

  • You need to bring a few light colored fabric swatches, 2”x2” approx
  • Any crocheted or quilted scraps, (small pieces!)
  • A few snippets, embellishments that may include beads, broken jewelry, old single earrings, a few buttons that have special meanings ,
    Metal hearts or charms..
  • 4-5 Silk flowers and leaves (I will have Some also! )
  • A metal thimble that we will smash is an adorable addition!
  • Any embroidery such as from a pillow case that can be cut up
  • Any junk drawer findings, maybe grandmas old times watch?
  • Maybe you might have a few inches of Some embroidered ribbons, or lace!
  • A spool of thread (Your color choice) and a few colors of embroidery floss
  • You will need a few sewing needles (and if you are like me a needle threader!)lol
