DIY Scrapbooking host Sandi Genovese uses colorful paper scraps to create a festive centerpiece. Photos and die-cuts are combined and then added to sticks. These party picks can be used to embellish food --even a plant -- to bring the fun of scrapbooking to the table! Materials: Color photos
Die-cuts of choice
Scrap paper in blue patterned, red and gold solids
Scissors
Xyron adhesive backing and sticker machine or glue
Sizzix die-cut machine
Silver gel pen
Toothpicks or bamboo skewers
- First, layer solid red and blue patterned paper. Place selected die-cut over the paper and slide into the die-cut machine (figure A). Press handle and make cut.
- Then, remove the die-cut word and use scissors to cut blue letters apart (figure B).
- If using an adhesive backing, remove backing from blue "S". If not, run letters through Xyron sticker maker.
- Place blue patterned "S" over the corresponding "s" on the red word (figure C).
- Next, adhere gold paper behind "star" opening (figure D) on the red "A" .
- Use silver pen to add sparkling embellishments to paper as desired.
- Using another sheet of paper, flip so that back surface is face up. Use die-cut to make a mirror image design to create "USA" backing.
- Peel backing off first "USA" die-cut shapes. Center the toothpick or skewer between the two images, and adhere images back-to-back. Slowly join the two by removing backing from the second die-cut as you press to the first.
- The same technique can be used with photos. Simply photocopy and create a mirror image of the photo (figure E). Trim around images, insert toothpick and adhere photos back-to-back (figure F).
