Terrific Tuesday

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

Bookmark_2 Well as promised, on at least one Tuesday a month - maybe more if my mind is being extra creative - we will post a little creative project that is fun to do.

Today’s find is a paperclip bookmark. I found the paperclip at a local store, and loved it so much that I have a bunch on order for the studio boutique. The top part of the paperclip has a frame inset for a photo.

Instructions are pretty simple.

Plbookmark_3I printed a photo on Epson Matte Photo paper and then glued it with a paper glue into the frame. If a  little spills out just wipe it with a baby cloth. Once dry, I put a layer of Aleene’s Paper Glaze. You only need 1 coat - but I ended up doing two coats for extra protection. Make sure to let dry in between coats. That’s it - wipe any overflow with a baby wipe.

Keep it for yourself as a bookmark, or give it as a gift.
