Designer Janice Lowe says adding beaded accents to pages is easier than ever. Add dimension and texture simply by covering a favorite die-cut shape with double-sided, cushioned tape or adhesive sheets, then cover with beads! Materials: Die-cut Double-sided cushioned tape or adhesive sheet (Freckle Press) Tray Brayer For best results, adhere the double-sided adhesive sheet to a piece of cardstock, then die-cut (or use a template and craft knife) both the sheet and cardstock into the desired motif. - Peel the protective backing from the adhesive, then place die-cut shape in tray.
- Pour beads over the shape (figure A), then press beads with fingers to ensure proper adhesion.
- Roll over beaded surface with brayer (figure B) to firmly embed the beads into the adhesive material.
- Add embellishment to page and complete page as desired.
