Hello everyone, Kim Lippincott here today to share something special with you! This month, each of the Designers are creating handmade embellishments using the line of products offered by ScraPerfect, This is going to be an exciting way for you to see the many possibilities that you can create at home to use on your projects. I have chosen to make some embellishments with yoyo’s and bottle caps. I am featuring the Best Glue Ever, No Clog Writing Caps, Embellie Gellie, the Tiny Bottles of Embellishments, and the Wheel of Embellies, Here are the embellishments that I created:
Let’s start with the bottle caps, for these I painted the top of the bottle caps with white gesso and let dry. Then I squeezed a small amount of the Best Glue Ever on (with the No Clog Writing Cap on the bottle always) and used a brush to spread evenly. Once tacky and clear, I put my bottle caps in a small dish and sprinkled some of the rose gold glitter from the Tiny Bottles of Embellishments on top and let that cure.
Once dry, I also used the Best Glue Ever to adhere my embellished bottle cap to a doily (with large glue dots). I repeated this process to attach a paint sample card behind that. For added interest, I also added a tiny resin bow on top of my bottle cap with the Best Glue Ever. I love the way it came out and think it would be a great addition to a card or scrapbook layout.
I made two other decorated bottle caps, to be used as embellishments on my future creations:
For this one, I added glitter and a resin rose to the bottle cap and attached it to a store bought ephemera card. I think t his one would be perfect for a junk journal embellishment!
On this bottle cap, I adhered silver micro beads from the Tiny Bottles of Embellishments with the Best Glue Ever and added a clear resin rose on top. I attached it to a store bought bow. I thought this one may go in my planner as a cute embellishment.
Now, on to the yoyo’s. I love using these in all types of my creations and love how they look as embellishments. Since they are made of cotton fabric, I used medium sized glue dots made from the Best Glue Ever to adhere them to each other. I made 3 different types of embellishments with the yoyo’s:
In my opinion, this embellishment would be very pretty on a vintage style project. It’s simple to make too! Just use the Best Glue Ever to attach the yoyo’s to each other and then to the doily. Add a dot of glue in the center hole of each yoyo and drop a loose pearl inside.
I used a store bought piece of ephemera for this one and added a yoyo, a small doily and 3 loose tiny pearls in the center. I then added 2 tiny pearls to the sides of the ephemera and added some pretty trim to the back.. I think this would be a great belly band for a junk journal, or on a gift bag!
This one was done in the shabby chic style and was also very easy to make. Cut a triangle out of denim, add some of the rhinestones from the Wheel of Embellies with the Best Glue Ever, and attach to a yoyo. Then add a crocheted flower with a tiny pearl in the center and you are finished. I love the sparkle on this one!
I hope you like the handmade embellishments that I created and will try to make some of your own. They are great to gave on hand when you are creating and can be added to anything! Thank you for stopping by today, please check back to see what the rest of the Designers make and follow
