Starting a DIY and Blog

Before I started Fwrap, there were many different fabric wrap designs I created and tried out. Some of them I still make for friends, but most of them were too labor intensive and/or too costly to mass produce. Or should I say, they were not too expensive if mass produced, but since I only made a limited number, they went beyond my desired price point of $8 to $13 dollars.

In this blog, I will offer you some of the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) projects that I rejected for Fwrap. You can make them with or without a sewing machine. Some are labor intensive, but others are very easy.

I will restrict this mostly to projects, but occasionally, I will diverge. So apologies ahead of time if I yammer on, but hopefully you know where the scroll button is located.

Happy Fwrapping,

Simple Felt Bags

This is the first design I toyed with, which was neither labor intensive or costly. But I didn’t feel it was special enough to launch Fwrap. The design was the pre-cursor to what would become the Adam Collection. Here’s a picture with the direction on how to make it.

Assorted Composition Notebook Covers

Generations of Americans grew up using Composition Notebooks. Kids use them at school and adults use them as journals, for bookkeeping or simply, to keep “To Do” lists. As a constant companion for some, a composition notebook quickly shows wear and tear. But with our covers, you can elevate and protect your notebook instantly. Also, each Fwrap cover comes with a leaf-shaped bookmark so you can find your place easily.
