Festive Office Paper Clip Tutorial
by Sophia Allison

Supplies: 1½ inch circle punch / Brown Ink Chalk / Large Paper Clips / d-stress Tool / i-bond Tool

Punch the circles out of chipboard, then cover the chipboard with Animal Crackers paper scraps.

Once glue has dried, cut your circle out, then chalk the edges.

Adhere your little cut-out animal embellishments onto the circles. Then use your D-stress tool to d-stress the edges around the circle to give it a slight vintage look.

We are now onto our final step. Using the I-bond add a little clue onto the top of your paper clip and adhere your embellished chipboard circle onto it…

VOILA, your cute little Office clips are done…enjoy!

Popcorn Treat Cones

Pinky create a fun video of how she create these cute cones and posted it on her blog. But it doesn't stop there. Our local designer Tya Smith loved Pinky's project so much, she featured it on her segment yesterday on Good Things Utah (video below). Be sure to watch both, they both have great tips!!

Circus Train
by Rhonda VanGinkel

I couldn't resist showing off this darling train that Rhonda created. She said she gave her d-stress tool a total workout sanding all the edges of the train, but loved how easy it made the job. A big shout out goes to our friends at Kaiser Crafts for creating such a fun wood train in the first place...love it!
