I thought I could use them for a 1/6 scale kitchen diorama.
So I bought four packs. I don't know what I was thinking. There were nine different colours,but I knew there was only one card of each colour.
The pink ones were the inspiration for the whole thing, and I forgot to include them in the picture! |
I started with the one I thought looked the least like a real tile,in case I screwed it up. I didn't want to waste any of them. Just a note: In 1/6 scale two inches equal one foot. Tiles are usually one foot square. That would be two inches square though,and that actually looks too big for 1/6 scale. That happens sometimes. It's not always possible to keep exactly to the scale rule,because it doesn't always look right. Sometimes you have to eyeball it. So the 'tiles' have been cut one and a half inches square. I think they'll be perfect. There is one thing though...
We aren't going to have to buy recipe cards for generations.
If anybody wants to look for these they were at Kroger stores.
I don't know if you do scrapbooking at all, but with a little crafty alteration recipe cards can make great journaling cards for photo albums. Just embellish the cards to cover up any existing text you can't use, handwrite your journaling, and slide the cards into the pockets of the photo album along with your pictures.

I don't,but that's a good idea.
DeleteNow that's clever! I never would've thought of using these to decorate a dollhouse. Sounds a lot cheaper than the paper at Hobby Lobby.
ReplyDeleteIt was. They were 30 cents a pack! Plus they are card,so they are more like tile than paper.
DeleteThanks. I'll keep you guys updated.
ReplyDeleteGood plan.
