Freebie Friday - Living on the Edge

There are so many great ways to trim doll costuming.  Here are just few free tutorials to inspire you to trim and embellish your dolls.

One of my favourite ways of adding sparkle to edges is with a bead picot, like I did with the Soul Whisperer's waistcoat below.  Click here to see how to do it.

I'm dying to try this beaded scallop edge.

This tutorial on creating interlocking loops also looks promising.

Plus there is this vertical net trim tutorial.

My friend Romona gave a free tutorial on her blog on how to make your own beaded trim here.  If you buy this type of trim pre-made it is really expensive, so this is a great way to do it yourself.

I love this tutorial on making your own ribbon trim from Fembellish.

Or how about a simpler look, click here to see how to stitch a blanket stitch which makes a nice edging.

There are so many other ways to trim, to embellish to jazz up those edges - we could be here for hours, but let's keep it short shall we? Have fun and remember to live on the edge.

Hi Colleen, I bet you had to search my posts for that link didn't you...;o) I guess I better put it a link on the side like for things like that, like you did with yours. Also, congratulations on having Waterlily featured in Doll Art Quarterly this time. If you haven't seen it yet, head over to Joggles, Barb has that issue posted with sample pictures....I knew Lily was a winner...Romona
