What is an Inchie? *now with Rinchies, Twinchies, Rolo & Moo!*

They look so tempting to make!

Apologies if this or similar has already been posted, but you can print off free graph paper  on this site - just set your graph to have 1 line per inch.  Free pages full of 1" squares yay!

(They also have every type of graph/grid paper you could ever dream of  on this page )

That's a neat resource. Thanks for sharing!

I've linked this post a bunch too, it's the most helpful thing ever! Thanks, Phizzy!

And I can't help but underline just how addictive inchies are. You know, so they don't say we didn't warn them. Repeatedly.

That's such a great link! All these graph papers, all the possibilities! Thanks, Mellfire!!

PS: Since we're sharing inchie ideas/resources and stuff, this is how I store my inchies, until I do something more creative with them.

I'm with Monty.  I understand they're fun to make and cute, but what do you do with them?  Do you make mosaic-like collages?  Do you trade them?

These sound really neat! I think that I will definitely be trying this at hom...

Yes to both! Mosaic framed inchies look super cute!

You could always use them as a design on cards or in scrapbooking or art projects. The world is your lobster!

The world is your lobster!

Or oyster. 

Sometimes I put a single inchie on the front of a blank greeting card. I have a really great "inchie frame" stamp that sets them off and makes for a really nice (cheap!) card:



Here's how great they look when framed altogether (picture on the left. The art on the right is from the fabulous phizzychick):

I'll stick with my lobster. I don't like oysters!

Oy! You sent me that (cheap) card!

ETA: something on topic! I love those inchies on the black background!

Perhaps I should have used the word "inexpensive". 

I love the inchies displayed like that, too. The frame is a cheap inexpensive frame designed to display album covers. Those inchies all came from the first inchie exchange swap we did.
