<p>[QUOTE="Born2it, post: 4617912, member: 59977"]A far easier and smaller version of this craft was taught in art class at my elementary school in suburban New York in the 1970’s. Much more like the Mexican style I’m sure you’ve seen lots of during your research, but using glue and fairly thick yarn. We made trivets and coasters, in blinding ‘70’s colors. Nowhere near as upscale as what you have, but it implies that the idea was well known enough 50 years ago to have reached the cultural backwaters.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
