A Bit About Paper Crafter’s Library

The world of paper crafting is HUGE! Whether you are a beginner, or you’ve been creating for years, the sheer number of different products, tools, techniques and project ideas can be overwhelming.After spending 6 years helping thousands of paper crafters around the world become more successful in the creative space through her series of kits, digital tutorials and online classes, Andrea Walford began looking for a new approach to education. In 2011 she launched Paper Crafter’s Library – the first, and still to this day, only website that provides an all-in-one learning solution for paper crafters. With almost 800 videos currently in their library and 4-5 new videos added each week, Paper Crafter’s Library offers comprehensive training on products, tools, techniques, and project ideas. From beginner through to advanced, whether your interest is in stamping, card making, scrapbooking, creating 3D items or altered art – you’ll find all the resources you need to navigate the world of paper crafting in ONE place, organized and indexed so that it’s quick and easy to find.

Here are a few Sneak peeks at today project posted over at Paper Crafter's Library.  It's all about recycling, altering and stamping on metal!  I've used Brocade Stanp Set 4, Suzy West Cotton Candy and Metallic Gold Rich Pale Embossing powders by Wow!  WOW!

I've used Want 2 Scrap White Pearls on the tips of the crown.

I've used Want 2 Scrap, Big Beautiful Bling Borders by Nina Brackett
So easy!  Start with a toilet paper tube.  Using Glue Glider Pro and Perma Tac, adhere a piece of cardstock that's been cut to size.  Using Glue Sticks and a glue gun, glue the bottom of the tube closed.  I've used some wire and pearl beads to make both handles.
Instructions:
Start with a toilet paper tube.

Cut paper to cover the tube (4.25" x 6.00").

Using Glue Glider Pro and Perma Tac, apply adhesive to your choice of paper. Adhere the paper to the toilet paper tube. Press one end of the tube flat.
Using a sewing machine, sew across the bottom. (You could use a hot glue gun instead). Use the tiny "Say it with pearls: and apply a pearl to each peak on the crown. 

Using a versa mark ink pad, apply ink to random areas of the chipboard crown and then heat emboss with White Embossing Powder.

Cut 2 pieces of wire 6" long. 

Twist two ends together and the string a bead on the wire, twist the wire several times, and repeat until the wire is beaded and complete. 
Hot glue the crown to the covered toilet paper tube. Hot glue a pin wheel to the center of the crown. Use a hot glue gun to adhere the wire handle. Add sweet treats and crinkled paper to the inside of the tube.
