Khatam Fabric Magnet {Tutorial}
The Rub el Hizb is a Muslim symbol, represented as two overlapping squares. It is used a lot in Arabesque tile designs. It is sometimes called a khatam in Arabic and started showing up in architecture in the Middle Ages.
I recently got a new Friskers punch that you’ll be seeing quite a bit of in the next month. Today we used the punch to create this card stock template to make these fabric magnets.
Enjoy today’s photo tutorial!
