Tip of the Week

Do you find attaching glitter and or flock to small items to sometimes be a challenge? Not any more! Using the sticker maker machines from Xyron you can make your own decorative embellishments easy-peasy. Below I have photos and descriptions on how to do this:

I am demonstrating the Xyron 150 Sticker Maker with the permanent adhesive cartridge. The butterfly punch and glitter are from the Martha Stewart line at Michael's. The fun flock is from Stampendous. I punched the butterfly from thin, white core chipboard. Gently push your shape into the X150 until your feel it stop. Making sure the side you want to attach the glitter to is face down. Turn the X150 to the other side and gently pull the adhesive strip out of the machine. Stopping after your shape is past the cutting teeth. Pull the adhesive strip up againt the cutting teeth and tear the strip off. Rub the shape while it is still in protective paper. Peel away the clear top paper and then remove the white paper, this is the sticky side. Sprinkle with glitter. Shake off any excess glitter. Your done. If you want to make this a sticker you can now run it back through the X150, glitter side up this time.

I hope this makes sense. If you still have questions please leave me a comment or an email. :)
