REMEMBER WHEN

Posted on November 8, 2009 at 12:33am 3 Comments 0 Likes

I can remember my mom cutting up her Mouton fur coat to give me some pieces for a barbie coat, as I needed it for the collar. Does anyone know how to make hot pads from cigarette covers that you flatten the top of one and then you cut some kind if a v in it and then take an elastic and run it around the center . I used to make them but forgot long ago. Also do you remember making big flowers out of colored tissue paper? Please let me know what you were taught to do when younger. ButtonsR
