Tuesday Tip – making your own glitter paper

“A big THANK YOU to Jowilna Nolte, fellow SA scrapper, blogger, author and cardmaker for this gorgeous tip on using glitter that she has shared with us at the SA Scrapbooking Convention. Now, with her permission, I can share this with all of you! Do take the time to visit her blog: www.jowilnanolte.blogspot.com for more scrapbooking and cardmaking inspiration.”

” This is such a gorgeous technique to make your own glitter paper to use for scrapbooking or cardmaking. With Christmas just around the corner, you can use this technique to “glitter-up” your Christmas scrapping and make you pages very festive!”

“Or you can also use this technique to “soften” the colour of paper….the glitter will subdue the colour.”

MAKING YOUR OWN GLITTER PAPER:

1. Working with glitter is a messy business….so, cover your workspace!

2. What you will need:

*double sided tape

*glitter

*paper strips – the same width as your double sided tape

Step 3.

Cover your paperstrips with double sided tape

{The broader your double sided tape, the broader the paperstrips you can prepare!

Step 4.

Peel back the backing strip from the double sided foam tape and pour generous amounts of glitter onto the paperstrip

Shake off the excess glitter and place back into your glitter container

Step 5.

The result…………..gorgeous glitter paper!

And here is the Christmas card that I made using my glitter-paperstrips……………..

You are now able to make your own glitter paper from any range you choose….very nice for those girly or celebration pages!
