Today I am cleaning my desk.
Well, sort of.
Today I wanted to make some ephemera to add to my journal pages and I wanted to use up all the bits on my desk.
I thought it would be fun to make some ephemera to keep on hand for adding to my journal pages.
I didn’t give much thought to the process. I opened up my scrap drawer and pulled out some papers that were similar in color, then grabbed some other bits from my scrap box along with some stamped words I made.
A glue stick, some handmade buttons, lace and trim later and I have a nice little collection of paper clusters in blue, beige and pink.
I started with some decorative paper and cut it into rough squares and rectangles.
Next, I added some torn paper or book page (or both) followed by some trim. I used a bit of lace and a bit of embroidery floss a few stamped words and a button or two.
I rounded the corners on some and others I left square. If you don’t have a corner rounder you can always cut rounded corners with scissors. On one I decided to punch a hole and add some lace to form a tag.
These are so simple (and fun) to make. Of course, in the end I used up scraps for sure but I also have a lot more on my desk now too. No worries-I have another post and video planned for Wednesday where we will make some paper tabs.
Until next time…
