On my worktable this evening, torn paper fringe, made from a vintage French book.
This fringe will be used for the same project as the tiny snowflakes.

Torn paper fringe.

The book, Le Voyage De Monsieur Perrichon, is in poor condition, which makes it suitable for use in crafts. The binding is tight and the paper not too brittle but the book has pen and pencil scribbles on almost every page. I was going to erase the tiny pencil marks but decided they added to the charm. The paper is soft, dusty and easily torn.
