Tamiko here and I have a confession. I just can't stop this small obsession… of making planner clips. I find a cute little image that makes me smile, and I am suddenly. pulled.back.in. one adorable image at a time! Sometimes I find myself just sorting through google images for clip worthy images. Especially things I've never seen before. Check out these!!
Supplies used to create clips:
*Free Images from Google (color them in advance to save time)
*Clear gesso
*Sakura Koi Color Brush Markers
*Super Doodle Glitter Gel Pens
Laminator
laminator pouches
Jumbo paperclips
Scissors
misc sequins and mini punches flowers
*indicates items you can use in advance to color images
So once I find the images I want to work with and apply a little clear gesso, I am good to color them. I cut them out and place them in pouches created to run through the laminator for a little bit of a different look. I cut them once more through the laminator sheet paying close attention not to cut too close around the airpockets between the image and bonded pouch.
Once cut, I flip them over and apply a big drop of Helmar's Premium Craft Glue. I love how it comes it in a thick gel form, that allows for the flip to nestle deeply into the adhesive and feel supported. It dries extra super crystal clear, so no need to worry about dropping too much or it oozing beyond the targeted area. I also placed a piece of felt to cover my glue work and give the product a more finished appearance. Yes it's a planner clip, but who say's because it's home made it has to look home made!! (smiles)
If you wanted to go the extra mile you could also add Helmar Fabric Stiffener to the felt to give it extra body. Give that a few moment to bond before adding any external embellishments!
These are the most perfect little presents you can give to fellow planner users or collectors of hand made pretties. Make bunches NOW! Buy Helmar NOW! (giggles) You wont regret it!! Visit Helmar Worldwide to get your products now!!
