A New Thing

Posted on July 19, 2015 by Kat, aka "Arty_Kat"

i tangled a bookmark today. It’s white but looks light blue for some reason!

i enjoyed this new shape!

Now I wonder what the best thing to do is: use Mod Podge or a spray fixative! It isn’t the thickest paper card stock.
Ideas?

  Do you mean by a machine? Any idea of cost?

    You can buy laminate sheets that are sticky. You just peel them off and stick them together. I have a machine but have had it many years and no idea how much it was anymore. Try looking on Walmart.com or Amazon. If you’re going to do a lot though, the machine would be the better long term investment.

Lovely! What about laminate? I’ve used gloss, though I also have used a mat laminate on my bookmarks…quite a pleasant finish. I’ve read that mod podge is quite good….all the best with it. 🙂

  With the laminate, do you use a heating machine?

    Yes, however you can buy laminate that you just take the backing off and use….very handy. Though can be difficult to find. An Office supply store will usually laminate things and these days you can buy quite inexpensive little laminator machines for home use….all the best, Janette. 🙂

  Well I’d need to see what you do before I’d agree, really. But I’m very happy you like it!
