It's not about the basics anymore - we'll learn techniques for addressing challenging binding situations such as binding irregular shaped pages, binding on the edges of a project, binding pages of various sizes, creating projects besides books, tips for fixing mistakes, and more.

Bind-it-All....a Jewelry Maker?
- Your Bind-It-All
- 1 length of Owire (your choice of diameter, but 1/2" or 3/8" are most dainty!)
- A pair of pliers
- 16-20 beads (based on wrist size)
- 16-20 Jump rings (3 rings per charm/sequin)
- Sequins, Charms, Ribbons
Step 3. On the other end of the wire, we're going to create a hook. As in Step 2, squeeze the prongs together. Coil the small piece of wire that is protruding on the main round. We do this to make it safe for the recepient of the gift to wear.
Step 4. Now for the fun part. Using your pliers, straighten each round of wire slightly to attach the bead through the wire. This is especially needed if the bead you use is bigger in size.
Step 5. Once the bead is in place, bend the wire in position. A little coil will suffice, as we'll use the Bind-It-All to coil the wires once all the beads are attached.
Step 6. With all your beads in place, put the bracelet through the Bind-It-All to bind the owire. Make sure you do not over tighten the hook at the end of the bracelet.
Step 8: Ta-dah! A personalized gift you made with your handy-dandy Bind-It-All! Enjoy!

OZZ Design Team Blog Hop!
We here in Zutter Land are thrilled to welcome aboard our newly selected 2009-2010 Design Team! Yayyyyy celebrate that! But, we just didn't want to say ciao to the first ever DT whose year "on duty" just ended. Our inaugural DT is special because they were the first, so we are hanging on to them like, well, like Zisters.
So say HELLO again to our veteran DT....the OZZ girls....that's "Original Zutter Zisters" (not old...LOL!) Let's celebrate THIS!
To commemorate the year just completed, the OZZers conducted a layout swap and compiled our layouts into the brand new Zutter Pre-Punched Page Protectors along with the coordinating Cover-Alls!
Want to see how these gems work? They are SO easy - take a look at this quickie video....
Go visit their blogs and don't forget to leave a comment:
Happy Blog Hopping!

Spanning the Pacific - Say G'Day and Groovy to Sophie and Sarah
Sophie Sim
Salutations! I'm Sophie from Canberra, Down Under! I'm new to this land of roos and koalas, having come from Garden City, Singapore. I love creating and have been playing with paint and paper from the earliest of my memories. Friends always joke that I have a pair of scissors as a right hand. I love bright colors and value having my personal handwriting included in my creations. Nothing beats a personal touch!

From the Heartland of America - Meet Shelley and Pam
My name is Shelley Haganman. I am a single mom of three children 20, 17, and 16. I am a part-time RN in the Operating Room during the day and a scrapper, project maker, and photographer in my free time! I have a true passion for creating and love to share that with others! I am so excited to be a part of this incredible Bind-it-all Design Team!
Submission Quote: “I got my hands on my BIA right after it debuted at CHA. I have never looked back! It was the best purchase in scrapbooking I have ever made! I would love to share my passion for the product and for designing new ways to use it.”
Pam Sandy
Hi! My name is Pam Sandy. I am from Michigan, and I am a scrapbooker, card maker, quilter, and sewer. I pretty much like all crafty things and have to be working on something all the time, or I go stir crazy. I have two grown children, a daughter, Cort, 26, and a son Jay, 22. I have two grandchildren, Kaya, almost two, and Cooper, almost one, and am owned by five dogs (all frequent scrapbook subjects!). I can't wait to work with the amazing and talented bunch here at Zutter Zisters. Happy punching and creating everybody!!!

Say HEJ and CHEERS to Camilla and Linda
Camilla Isaksson
I’m a happy 35 year old mom of two wonderful children, and am married to the most wonderful husband for 13 years. We live in a tiny country - Sweden - and it’s so lovely because of all the seasons we have. We have a big house (and I have my own craft room *yyyeyy*) and a fantastic garden. My husband has a few cars that he always drives around...and we have snowmobiles. Many albums are about winter, cars, kids, and the garden. I would love to continue to carry the Swedish flag on the Zutter design team! It’s not an easy job to take over from Jeja…...everyone has done a FANTASTIC JOB to inspire us all!
Submission Quote: “I would be so honored to be a part of the Design Team and to inspire others! It’s so fun to make things and inspire others into trying things they maybe never would make. If I come up with something, I want the share it with the world! Why should I keep all the ideas for myself? Better to share!”
I have been crafting since forever in one form or another. My passion for stamping took over about five years ago. I am a Ranger girl at heart and love nothing more than trying new things and getting inky and messy. My style is eclectic ... if that is a style and I will give anything a go at least once! I have been known to sky dive and abseil on occasion! I love all things Zutter and I am extremely proud to have been asked to join the design team.

Meet Lynne and Fleur!
Hi, my name is Lynne Forsythe and I hail from the great state of New Hampshire. I have only been scrappin' for about four years...but when I do something...I do it ALL THE WAY. I have a passion to share what I learn, along this path, with others. I am married to an amazing man, Walter, and we have two teenagers...Meylsa, 16, and Douglas, 14, and if I'm not taking pictures of them...they are filling up the camera with pictures of themselves...so I always have something to scrap! I am very humbled to be chosen to be a part of the Zutter Zisters Design Team and am looking forward to working with such a talented group of ladies!!!
My Blog is....The Next Best Thing by Lynne http://lynneforsythe.blogspot.com/
Submission Quote: “I like the versatility of the tool the most...you can punch just a few holes or a whole line of holes. You can get as creative as your mind will let you be. All my experiences have been positive...as has been teaching with the machine...and my students have loved it!”
Hi, my name is Fleur Smith and I live in beautiful British Columbia, Canada (home of the 2010 Olympic Games). I am happily married to Michael and have two wonderful boys, Rhys and Linden. I have been doing some form of paper crafting since my Mom showed me how to use scissors when I was 3. I have been scrapbooking for over 10 years and for the past few years have been making cards, mini albums and other projects. I love teaching the amazing hobby and teach locally. I am also the Design Team Coordinator for Scrapbook Star (scrapbookstar.ca). When I am not scrapbooking I love to travel and take photographs. I am really excited to be a part of this amazing team.

Submission Quote: “I would love to be a part of your design team. I love that Zutter is a small family company and your Design Team strives to keep that feeling through the blog and the website. I love making mini albums and being able to share my passion with others.”
