Creating Your Own Paper Piecing Pattern

Paper piecing is a great way to add pizzazz to your scrapbook pages. But what if you can't find a pattern for exactly what you have decided you need for that certain page?  This article will teach you how to create your own paper piecing patterns; thereby allowing you to create anything from paper.

For my sample page, July Skies, I decided I wanted to make a hot air balloon to accent the pictures I took of planes and a balloon over our house this summer.  I used the picture of the balloon as the guide from which I built my pattern. The first thing I did was scan the picture into my computer. See this step on the next page.
