    A combination of eyelets and dangling die-cuts can create movement and add a whimsical touch to winter pages! Watch this short video to see Judy Gould's technique.

    Designer Judy Gould uses eyelets to attach "falling" snowflakes to a snowy winter page.

    Materials:

    Scrapbook page
    Matted photos, embellishments and other page elements (not yet attached to page)
    Laser-cut snowflake dies
    Small hole punch
    Eyelets
    Eyelet punch
    Eyelet setter
    Archival mist
    Embroidery floss
    Tape

    1. Without adhering pieces, assemble page elements on scrapbook page to check placement and design (figure A).

    2. While elements are in position, determine placement of eyelets at top of page.

    3. Mark position, then remove all elements.

    4. Next, use eyelet punch to punch holes in paper (figure B). Work carefully on a protected surface.

    5. Then, position eyelet in hole. Use eyelet setter to expand eyelet (figure C). Repeat for all eyelets.

    6. Adhere all page elements to the scrapbook page.

    7. Spray archival mist over embroidery floss (if necessary) to buffer the floss and make it acid-free.

    8. Then, add laser-cut snowflake die to the end of a piece of embroidery floss cut a few inches shorter than the page. Tip: Consider cutting floss to varying lengths in order to stagger dangling die-cuts from the top of the page.

    9. Thread opposite end of floss through eyelets (figure D) and use tape to secure floss to back surface.

    10. Repeat process to secure remaining snowflakes to page.

    Die-cuts/templates provided by Ellison Craft & Design. For more information about Ellison, see Resources.
