As promised, here's the version using smaller standard size paper clips, not the jumbo version I used in the first video. I also touch on paper choices and other considerations. Have at it!

So now I am overly curious as to what the cookbook said to do to the Brussels sprouts! Lol

@sparkbirdstudios Жыл бұрын

I will try to find the exact recipe but essentially it instructed one to boil the sprouts to almost mush and THEN bake them. (I take Brussels Sprouts very seriously)

Couldn’t you make a copy of the brittle book pages and use that? Then you’d have the look of the old paper. Love these.

@sparkbirdstudios Жыл бұрын

Absolutely could! Great idea

@texmanatee5856 5 ай бұрын

I came to make this very suggestion. I do it all the time because I want to use books that belonged to my parents without destroying them. You can also photocopy fabric. I love incorporating bold, colorful prints into my papercrafting and seeing the threads makes me happy for some reason. I've also reduced some of my mom's old scarves and scatter them through my crafts. This would be a super way to incorporate prints that look cool and vintage to others but for me they bring back a rush of beautiful memories.❤

Just watched both paper clip videos. Love them! 😊 I like that they are so encapsulated and not relying on just glue to hold them. On the ones you added an eyelet to, is the eyelet inside the end loop of the clip?
