Has anyone ever done paper piercing? I didn't know the name of it until today-- but I found this pic of a lighthouse that I would love to duplicate
but am clueless---
any ideas

I am not 100% positive but.....

I think for the light house you can trace the different parts of the light house (triangle top, stripes, LH door, etc) onto the back of the paper you want to use and cut them out (leave enough on say the white stripes to have overlap in the back to attach them with glue or tape. The base is pieces of cardstock that is torn to give it that coastline look. These are also glued together and attached to the bottom of the light house.

I am not sure if I am describing it correctly but it is sort like working with a sewing pattern. You might be able to find a paper piecing template online by doing a search.

HTH!

They are cute tags!

Christine...that is exactly right!! I love paper piecing...its lots of fun and you can make some beautiful things!!

Laura...I will see if I can find any instructions/websites that would be of some help to you.

Thanks--any help would be great-- I def get the idea now--
Is it doable--- for about 100 of them??? We are trying to come up with creative table cards and I thought this lighthouse would look cute on the left side of a regular placecard-- so that we could still print the tablecards but have them be different--
and yes the wedding has a lighthouse theme!!!! The wedding is in Maine on the water under a tent--
Thanks for the help
