| Wood shapes and chip board come in a vast variety of adorable options. The frustrating part is that they seldom come in the color or pattern to match my current projects. |
 |
| Using my Fiskar exacto-knife, Tombow multipurpose glue, a cutting mat, and a bit of patterned paper I will show you how I turn this wood shape into a beautiful embellishments to match my project. |
 |
| Since I want to show the green side of this paper I will glue my wood shape onto the reverse side of the paper. |
 |
| I like the controlled tip applicator of the Tombow Multipurpose glue. |
 |
| I place the glue side down and gently add pressure to insure a secure and even bond of paper and wood. Using a stylus I clean up any glue oozing from the sides before it dries. |
 |
| Using my Fiskar exacto-knife I carefully cut the paper close to the edges of the wood shape. |
 |
| When I have completely cut around the shape it is ready to be inked, misted, glittered, or added to my project just as it is. This same technique works great with chipboard shapes and alphabets. |
I would love to hear what techniques you use on chipboard and wood shapes.
Happy crafting!
