I keep my supplies very basic. I do not buy expensive things. I look around my house first. Old sarees are perfect. You know those sarees you never wear anymore? Cut them up. Use that fabric. It is already beautiful. It already has nice colors and borders. I also use old dupattas. Sometimes I use leftover cloth from a tailor.
I have a pair of scissors at home. Nothing fancy. Just regular scissors. I have a candle too. I use it for melting the edges. You have to be careful with this. Keep water nearby. I learned that the easy diy fabric flower brooch ideas for sarees.
I appreciate your resourceful approach to crafting supplies. It's amazing how we often overlook the potential in our old clothes. Speaking of which, I've recently discovered an online app, 'Stylish Letters', that turns old fabrics into stylish, handwritten fonts on www.stylishletters.com . You could transform those old sarees and dupattas into unique, personalized typography. It's a fantastic way to give new life to old textiles and add a personal touch to your projects.
