How Do You Embellish Scrapping Projects With Jewellery?
• Choose some ideal pieces. Clearly you won’t be using the diamond or emerald stones to make a scrapping project but you can indulge in any imitation costume pieces that you have around the house. Broken necklaces and bracelets are excellent sources to pilfer pieces from, as are the odd earrings without a mate. Brooches can be great jewellery items also. Just make sure that they are pieces that you don’t wish to repair or keep as jewellery anymore. • Clean the jewellery up. Make sure that the jewellery is clean and as shining as it should be before using. Remove latches, pins, sharp edges etc. and aim to find a flat edge that can be stuck to a page. • Think of ways to add the jewellery pieces. If you are scrapping a collage or picture that will not be squashed flat into a scrapbook but will be placed on display, you have more leeway to use larger, non flat objects. For example, take the beads from various necklaces and bracelets and thread them into a design for working into your page.
