I had fun making a vintage pattern cork board. I had a little bit of a hard time working with the tissue paper, so I did some on-line research. I was BLOWN away by all the different project that people did with the pattern tissue. I want to share my favorites.
This one is by Karen Ross Smith, of Junk in my Trunk
Here is a lamp covered in tissue:
This is on Esty in RedZebraDesigns shop.
There are lots of wonderful projects out there. I am inspired to do more!!! Happy Crafting!

These old pattern uses are terrific! Thank you for sharing the links.
I couldn’t stop dreaming when I saw those old patterns. I used to sew all my clothes and it reminded me of how beautiful that era was and wish it was all back. I still have some patterns and I don’t know if I could bring myself to glue them on a board even though I like your project.
Very creative, but sad to see a vintage pattern not be used as a pattern . . .
I get what you are saying, but sometimes you can find patterns that aren’t usable as patterns anymore, so this is a new life.
