Hi there,
It’s Karen sharing a “Beautiful Day” Altered Spool that I created with the Retro Bike and Birds and Branches Chipboard sets. The chipboard sets were so easy to coordinate with this altered spool. This altered project is a great keepsake. The patterned paper and embellishments used were perfect. Take a peek at my tutorial below.
Step 1: Trim patterned paper down to the width of the core of the ribbon spool. I trimmed my paper down to 3x12.
Step 2: Reinforce edges of the patterned paper with coordinated stickers and distress edges with coordinated distress ink.
Step 3: Add 2 eyelets to each reinforced edge using a Cropadile.
Step 4: Attach patterned paper to spool using ribbon. Add metal Pull to patterned paper to securely wrap the patterned paper around the base of the spool.
Step 5: Adhere Vignette Finial pieces together and then adhere onto spool. Adhere flowers and leaves to the vignette finial pieces.
Step 6: Cut a bird from the Birds and Branches Chipboard set. Cut swirly pieces from the Border chipboard.
Step 7: Adhere the Retro Bike, Bird and Swirly chipboard to the spool using E6000.
Step 8: Add sentiment stickers to each wheel of the Retro Bike using 3D Tape.
Step 9: Tap on some gesso using a paintbrush and continue embellishing as desired.
