Hey guys, recently I have wanted to make my own hat pins for the covers of my scrapbook mini albums, one of the things needed to do this was beads. Well, after purchasing a few from Micheals, I know that it is not efficient price wise. So I decided to try to make my own from paper. Here is how my first ones came out, I think they look pretty darn good for a first try. I'll post them again when I finish them in a hat pin and use them on my album. Don't they remind you of glass beads (and to think all it cost me for the materials was $6.00 to buy a pack of sharpie markers all the other materials I already had on hand)
Materials used:
tooth picks - to hold the beads while they dried ( I stuck them into some packing from one of my
purchases from HSN so they could stand and dry overnight)
white cardstock cut into strips
1 pkg. different color sharpie markers
scotch Quick Dry adhesive
Inkssentials - Glossy Accents - to give them the glass look
a very small paint brush
Aren't they beautiful? Ok, I'll see you soon, until then Happy Scrapping!!
