Bead Art & Jewelry Supplies: Storage & Display

You have a lot of different options for making use of the growing pile of periodicals that you have been routinely stashing below your mattress. I like to make my own sayings and quotes by snipping various sized letters of the alphabet in different shades and putting them together. A simple way to get a cool retro feel is to cut out letters from the cover page, different ads, and article titles.

For incorporating into collages, scrapbooks, or any other visual project using cute pictures and graphic designs you can also look through old magazines. Another good idea is to use for backgrounds in a scrapbook is pages from a fashion spread magazine. They truly follow a theme and don’t have too much writing on them. The nice thing about it is that if the image has any writing on it you don’t want you can always put a decoration over it or another picture.

A good thing to do is to use an internet search to find ideas for your scrapbook. I searched Google images for different terms like "baby girl", "it’s a girl" etc, when I started my daughter’s scrapbook. I was able to locate so many great things, and I really saved as well.

Using a search engine’s images page can help you find terms that you need for a project that you are working on. You will be able to utilize much of the information in your plans, there will be a lot of data available just print it out and go from there. Since some may have copyright on these graphics for personal purposes suggested by me for you. As long as they’re used only within your personal crafts, that shouldn’t be a problem.

If you don’t have a printer, you can print them out at your local library or school if you attend for a couple cents a sheet. It’s still much cheaper than buying stickers and designs from art supply stores.

Have you got the glue? It is a hardly known fact that if you don’t have a glue, you might make some! Mix an equal amount of flour and water, depending on how much glue you need. A pasty substance is the ultimate goal; mix it up until it gets to this consistency.

Don’t make the glue until you are ready to use it because it will get moldy if left to sit. It’s good for paper projects and should be left out to dry completely after it’s used.

You can always add glitter for a nice touch even if you do have glue and use it as paint to decorate stuff.
