There is just something alluring about falling leaves, cooler weather and Autumn crafts that make me smile.This is the cover for a particular art journal that I recently created using some Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive and the Helmar Decoupage & Craft Paste.
After covering the journal in some of my handmade Mulberry paper that I made using my Arnold Grummer Paper Making Kit, which I then hand sewed the title onto; I added a pressed Mulberry leaf to the front using Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive.
Next, I wanted to protect the leaf by adding a thin layer of the Decoupage & Craft Paste over the surface of the leaf. Next, I added another pressed item, some type of wheat looking grassy thing…not sure what it is, mostly likely a weed, but I liked it anyway! lol
I just love how beautifully clear and smooth the Decoupage & Craft Glue works on top of such a fragile item like a pressed leaf and how well the 450 Adhesive holds the wheat stalk to the paper.
Would you like to see what is inside the book and why I call it Fall Naps? I also added a poem to her and if you want to get any tips about about hand sewing a title onto your paper or to hear what the poem is, then please visit my You Tube channel and please subscribe because I love making videos and sharing my inspiration with you.
