Hi friends if you are like me there will be at least some paper scraps you just cant bring yourself to throw! I just cant throw any pretty paper with images of butterflies and flowers and especially if it's paper like Graphic 45....all bits get hoarded!
Using up scraps is a challenge especially the tiny bits. In this post I am sharing how you can use tiny teeny bits to create useful handmade metal bookmarks.

Materials RequiredGlass Cabochons + matching Metal Bookmarks
Pretty Paper
Adhesive : an adhesive which dries clear and is super strong and wont yellow over time.
Cut out the image using a paper punch[ I am using an EK success 3/4th inch punch here]. Put the image upside down so that you can see exactly where you are cutting from the underside of the punch.

Alternately place the glass cabochon/disc on the image and trace the outline of the disc using a pencil and cut it out. You don't have to be super accurate as the convex shape of the cabochon will hide minor jagged edges.

Apply a tiny bit of adhesive on the flat surface of the glass disc : I use glossy accent and find it is the best for this as only a tiny bit is required, it doesnt alter the color of the image, stick very well and fast and dries absolutely clear.

Smear the glue evenly [ I use my finger for this!]

Stick your image so that the image side is on the glue.
