It’s great for storing sewing supplies like needles, thread, buttons, floss and pins- but it also works for hair bands and clips, small storage items, jewelry, desk organization and small treats. Use the drawers separately to organize your desk drawers or create a shadowbox- so many ways to use!

You can actually tuck thin fabrics in the hoop and stitch on them. Or you can die cut from paper and use the hoop on card fronts. Use the pieces separately or all together. </span></i></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><i><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></i></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><i><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The <b>Needle Book</b> is also a ScoreBoard die and features a pretty scalloped edge to the book. It measures 3 1/2” x 2 1/4" x 1/2" and is perfect for storing your stitching needles and pins- works great when made from felt! But it can also be made from matboard, chipboard, leather or fabric- one of the benefits of the Bigz dies.</span></i></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><i><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></i></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><i><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Please join us for the It’s All about Stitching Release Party that will be held on Tuesday, January 2nd at noon Eastern time on my YouTube, Facebook and Instagram pages.

Ok...maybe not the gift thing, <b>but</b> when you find something that is perfect for somebody, you just have to make it! I happened upon a snarky design that just screamed to be etched on a glass for a particular friend, so I pulled out my etchall® etching crème and the Ikonart Custom Stencil System.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Time to play...</span></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy6oJy867Q5Qy4U57ARVbwOYK6E8L8rmMZS43XCTF9c8CqZXayM7U7FdU3JQv8ocXP7cz1qdhQVscUy9uiJpa1EPLfvhUDN8H0CephmhYBPmHXoDqwTs7-Xwx4cUfTmchYUxVLxjvZ0pXzrggU9IUk77iGxeh2ZeSDW6QFrLP8I8pEatWRsT1vNcL1fkxS/s600/4a%20Zombie%20Witch%20etched%20wine%20glass%20for%20Halloween%20by%20Susie%20Bentz%20with%20Ikonart%20Stencil%20and%20etchall%20etching%20creme.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy6oJy867Q5Qy4U57ARVbwOYK6E8L8rmMZS43XCTF9c8CqZXayM7U7FdU3JQv8ocXP7cz1qdhQVscUy9uiJpa1EPLfvhUDN8H0CephmhYBPmHXoDqwTs7-Xwx4cUfTmchYUxVLxjvZ0pXzrggU9IUk77iGxeh2ZeSDW6QFrLP8I8pEatWRsT1vNcL1fkxS/w640-h640/4a%20Zombie%20Witch%20etched%20wine%20glass%20for%20Halloween%20by%20Susie%20Bentz%20with%20Ikonart%20Stencil%20and%20etchall%20etching%20creme.jpg" width="640" /></a></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I found the design in the Silhouette Design Store. In the past, I have created my stencils out of vinyl and I will continue to do that in some cases. With the Ikonart Custom Stencil System, however, I was able to create a reuseable stencil with tremendous, tiny details! The process is really so simple and <b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mu0bgfw4SME" target="_blank">this short video</a></b> takes you through the steps.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_diloXsH8EqzQdvmCINRODc90glMB-MNzY2OFqoRLsWFn_8CeVp3NXumM5p8Z7L7H_EUpUZjAUkHUv0QPIhzz_WptMvYjtSzIWLe9zl7AfYMQ42g-UmbwrciDXZgadMcSbQ3kgw_kEXwERf9CzxLyOAN5ktJ5FiWktnhRpdbmWpSAVM_CEEBfmFWqY4OF/s2400/2aZombie%20Witch%20etched%20wine%20glass%20for%20Halloween%20by%20Susie%20Bentz%20with%20Ikonart%20Stencil%20and%20etchall%20etching%20creme.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2400" data-original-width="1800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_diloXsH8EqzQdvmCINRODc90glMB-MNzY2OFqoRLsWFn_8CeVp3NXumM5p8Z7L7H_EUpUZjAUkHUv0QPIhzz_WptMvYjtSzIWLe9zl7AfYMQ42g-UmbwrciDXZgadMcSbQ3kgw_kEXwERf9CzxLyOAN5ktJ5FiWktnhRpdbmWpSAVM_CEEBfmFWqY4OF/w480-h640/2aZombie%20Witch%20etched%20wine%20glass%20for%20Halloween%20by%20Susie%20Bentz%20with%20Ikonart%20Stencil%20and%20etchall%20etching%20creme.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><p><span style="font-size: large;">I picked up a glass at Dollar Tree, washed it, and rubbed it down with alcohol before applying the stencil. Putting a stencil on a curved surface can be a little tricky! The Ikonart stencil is flexible so I created "pleats" that allowed me to have the edges of the design sealed against the glass. I applied a thin layer of etchall® using a small rubber brush, checking to make sure I got complete coverage of the design.
