Good morning Helmar fans! I am so excited to have another video up today, I hope you find some inspiration from it.
These are Book Print Bows, made from recycled old book. I found these in the trash from the local library. So I snatched them up for my scrapbooking.
Big bonus is the price! hehehe
You can make them what you want, I can see these being done so many ways.
Perfect for cards, layouts, even a wreath would look adorable with these book print bows.
They reminded me of years gone by with the old print on the papers.
So I went with a retro-old school feel layout.
Here is a video to give you a step by step on how to make these yourself using and old book, scissors, and your handy dandy Helmar 450 Quick Dry.
On this layout I used the ever amazing Melody Ross GCD Studios paper, wow it was so fun to work with, all the glitter on the butterflies made me happy.
Supplies used on this layout: Helmar Zapdots, Helmar 450 Quick Dry, Helmar Adhesive Runner- GCD Studios Melody Ross paper -Recycled book pages- Core'dinations color core paper
This layout only took 15 minutes, and that is perfect for my schedule.
Elegant and fun at the same time.
I hope you try making these Book Print Bows, I love them so much!
If you do make them PLEASE come and tell us about it. Nothing makes a designer happier then knowing they inspired someone else to get crafty.
Have a beautiful day.
