Make these embellishments into a striking card
Suggested Materials
- Micro-beads (or you could try glitter or coloured sand)
- Craft glue (dries clear) with a fine tip applicator
- Die-cut machine with dies.
- White Chipboard (thick card)
- Colouring pens the same colours as your micro-beads.
- Self-adhesive Rhinestones.
- Scrap paper to work on.
- Double-sided sticky tape.
- Bead collection tray or a low-sided container to collect excess microbreads
- Paint brush
- Mod Podge
Dies
- You need a die that is able to cut through thick card.
- I used Sizzix "bigz" and "originals" dies for my embellishments as they easily cut through chipboard (thick cardstock).
3. Cover the die-cuts, as close to the edges as possible, with an even layer of white glue.
4. Pour the micro-beads over the die-cuts, trying to cover the whole surface as well as possible. Set aside to dry. Collect up the remaining micro-beads and return to their container.
5. Once they are dry, coat the micro-beads with a thin layer of Mod Podge or slightly watered down shite glue.
This is to seal the micro-beads onto the embellishment and prevent them from rubbing off. Set aside to dry.
