I LOVE good product packaging. In fact, I have been known to buy things based SOLELY on good packaging.
So today, I show you how to make your favorite product packaging into fun, funky (and CHEAP) scrapbook and card embellishments!
Supplies:
- Best Glue Ever
- No Clog Writing Cap
- Tiny Embellishment Bottles
- Product packaging
- Corrugated Box Pieces
Let’s get started….
I recently purchased some perfume with the most amazing box (and don’t get me started on the bottle design!)
- I started by cutting out all of the elements I wanted to use from the box.
- Ink the edges – use same color as design or brown / black for contrast – whichever calls to your design aesthetic
- Next I added some “bling” to some of the pieces, using Tiny Embellishments
- Rub some BGE on your piece….. Sprinkle … tap ….. let dry
- Finally I adhered pieces of corrugated cardboard with Best Glue Ever (and the No Clog Writing Cap!) to the back of my pieces (thank you, Penny Arnold for such a great tip!) so that they will be dimensional when added to cards and layouts.
- To finish, place your new embellishments on a piece of scrap cardstock and cover with plastic wrap to hold in place.
Now you have some amazing, one-of-a-kind embellishments to add to cards and layouts!
Thanks for stopping by the blog today!
