Double First Communion

 Brynn and Molly were receiving their First Communion, and I really wanted to make a keepsake for them!  I get these bright ideas and sometimes they simply don't pan out.  This time I was determined!  We bought extra hankie blanks - but I only mess one up....the other two turned out fair, considering I'd not done anything like this before.

I figured out a way to mount the hankies on card with ribbon and was pleased with my effort. 

Funny thing - I'd been advised by sales person to stabilize the back with a product that you dampen and press the hankie onto and then to apply a clear, water soluble top stabilizer.  I tried that.  Ummm, guess she didn't realize she was talking to less than a genius.  If you do those two things at the same time....uh, yeah, the top stabilizer "melts" and you have a gooey hankie!

On to the next hankie.  Thankfully I bought extra.
