In my newest Kiki Lowenstein short story, she runs short of craft supplies and ideas. But Kiki never fails her customers, so she came up with a wonderful “make and take” project–inchies!
Inchies are one inch by one inch pieces of original art. Typically they are collage art, but that’s not always the case. What’s so wonderful about inchies? Making them will…
- Stretch your creative muscle,
- Use up odd scraps of paper,
- Encourage you to try new color combinations
- Supply you with an endless source of cool embellishments!

This
is such a fun project because you literally cannot do it wrong! Best of all,
it’s a thrifty way to use up those small bits of paper that you hate to toss.
When you’re done, there are tons of cool products that can be used in a variety
of places on your cards or scrapbook pages. You can even trade inchies with
your friends. And yet another benefit…inchies force you out of your crafting
comfort zone. Think of them as an exercise to strengthen your creativity
muscle.

Cool idea. Darn! I just threw out two cereal boxes too.
Has the garbage person come? I say, go Dumpster diving!
Awesome! My grandkids will love this. I'm printing the directions right now.
Terrie, it's fun, easy, and the results are fantastic! How can you lose?
I have participated in several inchie and twinchie(2inch)swaps online.
Some amazing work possible.
Thank you for sharing x
Nice. I may try this.
Suzy, I bet you were amazed by the artistry in the swaps. Sounds like fun.
Dru Ann, go for it! Why not? If you don't like the end result, it's not like you've lost a big investment.
