Build A Key Chain with Bind-It-All

Welcome back to yet another

quick idea tutorial!

Today we are going to be 

building a key chain made

from O-Wire Scraps.

If anyone knew me as of

right now I waste nothing when

it comes to crafting in which

I find it hard to toss those

single O-Wire scraps out.

The shape of them alone reminded

me of a key chain loop and

I thought BINGO!!!

I will make a key chain.

Here we go!

There are no set supplies really

for this project except

for your O-Wire and

Bind-It-All. These are

some of the supplies that I used.

Feel totally free to make this

project your very own.

I cut my pieces out ahead of 

time and went ahead and gave

them some embellishment.

Here we see the front and 

back of this key chain.

Make sure to adhere tap on

first and punch whole.

We now have back and front

adhered.

Now we are going to place

key chain element in zip lock bag.

We are going to stitch this element

inside. I hand stitched but if you

have a sewing machine that

is just so much better. You don't 

have to use zip lock bag. It

can be anything translucent that

can be sewn through.

After stitching all around we

are now going to use our

Bind-It-All to put the O-Wire

loop on. Make sure it is looped to

where the seam of O-Wire is on the back.

Here we have finished product!!!

I made the one for my daughter

ahead of time to show that you

can add as many as you want.

My personal key chain is going

to include family. Just key moments

in which I want to look back on.

Again, please make this your

own and let your imagination run

with it.

Here are a few more detail pictures.

Well, I quite enjoyed this even

though it gave me a few

challenges in the beginning. LOL!

It was very well worth it.

Please if you give this project a

whirl share with us. We

love to see what you all

create. 

Thank you for stopping by!!!

Feeling chipper?

Hello everyone. Nicole here. And today, I would like to share a fun tutorial on how you can use those chipboard pieces that you have lying around in your stash. I've had quite a few piece of chipboard that's been on my shelf for months until just recently, I though of a cool idea which involved using them and the fabulous Bind-it-All to create a fun, textured mini album.

First I covered each piece of chipboard with patterned paper (front and back).

Then I used the Bind-it-All to bind my mini together.

And here are a few pages from my album.

Happy Spring!

Hello everybody!   I am SOOO happy that spring has arrived!  I have a Cover-Alls mini book project to share with you today that reminds me of warm weather ~  

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Cover-Alls.  Wait, can you guess how much I love the Cover-Alls?  :) They give such an organized and clean look to any mini book.  I chose the white Cover-All that is compatible with 7.5 x 5 " pages.  This is one of my favorite sizes, because I can easily use 4 x 6 pics, and still have room to jazz things up.  My first step was to create my background paper.  I decided to do quick and easy background pages by misting white cardstock.  First I grabbed some maybe colors ~

Then I tested them out.  I settled on the thicker reddish mist and sprayed several sheets of white cardstock in random ways ~

Then I cut my pages for my mini ~

Next I laid out the photos I wanted to use for each page ~

Then I did a test punch page using my pink Bind-It-All.  I always do this for same size pages, as it helps me decide exactly how I want to punch my pages before I use my "real pages".  Not everybody does this and it definitely isn't required, but I got in the habit when I first started using my Bind-It-All years ago, and it is how I still do it today ~

OK, I am happy with my punched page, now time to get busy. 

I play around with my scraps and embellies, getting the look I like ~

Next I pull the plastic sheet out of the back pocket of the Cover-All ~

Time to punch the holes in the plastic (easy peasy with my pink Bind-It-All) ~

Now it is time to punch my pages ~

Now I put the plastic ON TOP of my pile of pages to be punched ~

Then I bind my pages and the plastic insert together, then flip the plastic out ~

Then I tuck my plastic into the back pocket on the Cover-All.  I finish some decor for the front cover  ~

Then I glue everything down, including a wide bright pink ribbon to tie it up nicely.  Voila!  Cover is done!  ~

Here is a peek at the inside pages ~ 

 I used scraps of cardstock and patterned paper, and odds and ends of embellies.  I used my Distrezz-It-All to distress the edges of some of the cardstock  ~

Want to know a little secret?  I stopped punching my pages before I was finished (I think it was to chat with my 4 year old granddaughter on the phone), and when I came back and started punching again I goofed.  No worries!  My page was punched backwards, so it would have been out of order.  I punched the other side and after the book was put together this boo boo (left page extra holes) ~

turned into this design technique (fabric woven through the extra holes on the page) ~ 

So don't worry if you have a little mistake.  You can incorporate it into your design, or add extra cardstock as another border, or make your page a different size, or even just leave it.  Lots of options!  I actually punch extra holes on purpose many times and weave either ribbon or fabric through, so this was not a worry at all. I also don't mind turning my book to view pages, as long as the pages next to each other match up direction wise.  But if you don't mind that they match up, put your photos however you want.  That is one of the beauties of making your own from scratch mini book!  

Have fun creating a mini using the fabulous Cover-Alls and your Bind-It-All!  Have a joyful and creative day ~ Pam
