I am going to share a technique for making a fun pattern from striped pattern paper!!

I started with this paper...

 

 

I cut a strip with one black and one white stripe.  I cut that in half so I had two 6 inch strips.

I overlapped one of the strips on top of the other, creating a "V".

I cut my "V" in half.

This is what it will look like.  Repeat this process until you have enough to make your layout.

I layered mine over the gorgeous floral print paper!
