I received free packing tape in the mail from DUCK and thought I would use it to show everyone a new technique. With this technique you can use any printed material- magazines/gift bags/etc, and turn it into an embellishment. The possibilities are endless…you could cut out a cute picture, a famous person’s photo, a pattern–anything!! I am thinking I may have to find a magazine with a picture of Hannah Montana to use for my daughter’s scrapbook!
Supplies you will need:
Printed design/photo/picture
Bowl of water
Scissors
Packing Tape
Bone Folder
2 pictures I found in an old scrapbooking magazine, that I made into embellishments. Note: you can trim up the cake, much like I trimmed the true tag.Hope you have as much fun as I did with this quick and easy technique!
What a clever idea…scratch that…this is AMAZING! I would have never thought of doing this on my own, but you can count on me trying it out very soon. Thanks so much for sharing.
What a great idea! I have never thought or heard of doing this! Can’t wait to try it! Thank you for sharing!
This is great! I have used magazines for making rub-ons before, but not the shiny embellies! great tip. I also use packing tape to make large areas of glitter on things…I cut out a shape with my Cricut or make another die-cut (maybe with my Sizzix). Then, using the negative part of the shape, I lay packing tape across the back, face-up. You can use as many strips as you need, because the lines don’t show…then sprinkle glitter on the sticky side. Once the excess is brushed off, you have a glittery shape!
Wondering if it’s ‘acid free’ like a lot of embellishments tout for scrapping? That’d be my concern w/ the packing tape.
Nice idea–interesting how the paper rubs off, but the image remains!
Thanks for the video. I’ve done this with small laser jet photos to make a transparent photograph, which is also cool, but never done it from magazine pictures. Great idea!
