Doodling Grids Quick Tip

Doodling a Grid, Recycled Paper

Good Morning, Doodlers and Quilters!

Last week, we used a grid and a simple doodle to create complex-looking quilt designs.     Read – Easy Doodles for Those Who Think They Can’t 

After seeing the post, my friend, Deborah Johnson called me with this great tip:

Many wrapping papers come with a one inch grid on the back...perfect for doodling!  I checked my leftover Christmas wrap and quickly found several rolls printed with a grid.

Look for wrapping paper that has “cutting lines” on the label.

I  cut my paper into 12 x 12 inch squares but found the paper wanted to roll up.

A quick trip to the iron fixed that–I pressed the whole stack at once on low heat.

Ready to doodle!  Now all I need is a long meeting, a protracted phone call or

The OLYMPICS!…

I can’t wait!

There are three Olympians from our neighborhood–two sister who play hockey (one for Korea the other for the US —read about Marissa and Hannah Brandt HERE

and a Cross Country Ski Racer, Jessie Diggins HERE

Perfect time to doodle!

YOUR Happy Doodler,

Lori
