Tuesday Tip – Making your own scalloped edges
Scalloped shapes and edges are everwhere in scrapbooking and cardmaking, and while I love the look, I simply cannot afford to buy every single sized scalloped punch! Here is a cheaper alternative…
Step 1
Select your shape or edge (this technique works for most shapes and straight edges too!)
Punch or cut lots of little circles (I used my 1.5cm circle punch)
Step 2
Apply adhesive to the reverse side of your shape (wet adhesive works best so you can fiddle around with the placement of the scallops) and begin sticking your circles to the reverse.
Overlap the circles and turn your shape over to ensure that just the right amount of ‘scallop’ is showing.
Countinue right around the edge of the chosen shape.
And you are done!

Brilliant Kirsty
I have wanted to make a scalloped edge on a large semi circle, woohoo, now I can !! thanks for sharing x
CUTE!! Great idea with the circles Kirsty
.
Wow, how come I never thought of that?!?!? What a GREAT idea!
That’s a nice idea. You could use a square punch to make it look like a sun or burst too!
You can also draw around coins if you haven’t got the right size circles and cut them out.
Oooh loving the extra tips girls! I want to try the square punch now, that would be super cute Denise!
