This was a cheap fabric scrapbook that I didn't want
to get rid of. So I recycled it |
Here is what the finished product looks like. |
Step 1: Paint the fabric surface with Stiffy Fabric
Stiffener. It seals the fabric, makes the nap lay down so
you have a smooth surface to work with, and allows you to stamp directly
onto the surface by making it less porous. Don't get the
book too wet or it will buckle. |

Step 2: Once the Stiffy Stuff is dry, mix acrylic paint with a little stiffy and sponge on three
different paint colors. I used light pink, purple, and magenta. |
Step 3: Once you have your base, let the fun begin.
Prepare your charms. Paint the charms with a mix of Sophisticated
Finishes (gold) and metallic powders (purple) let dry. This gives
the ink holding power. Spray alcohol based ink (Ranger has a wide
range of alcohol inks) on a Styrofoam plate and brushed it over the
charm, wiping off the top for a staining effect, leave in the crevices,
when dry seal with a water based high gloss sealer. For extra color you
can use sharpies, color on parts of the charms like leaves and roses,
wipe with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol. |
Step 4: Prepare the clear cabochons. Cut our Tissue
Decoupage Papers in a circle and apply glue to the front and adhered it
to the cabochon. Be careful not to get glue on the top of the
cabochon it will become cloudy. Once dry, apply glue to the back
of the cabochon and arranged on scrapbook. |

Step 5: String seed beads on a wire, and
brush staz-on ink on them to change the color to purple. And glue
them around the clear cabochons. |
Step 6: Use our Tissue Decoupage Blanks and stamp purple staz-on
ink with a "word stamp". Decoupage the paper on the scrapbook.
Decoupage your cuts out, brush purple staz-on lightly over the entire
project. When dry, set with Krylon matte spray, covering the
cabochons to prevent the spray making them cloudy. Brush a high
gloss varnish on the book cover, let dry. |
Step 7: Once the scrapbook is complete, stamp words, stars
and other simple motifs directly on to the scrapbook using your purple
staz-on ink. Apply your fibers and rhinestones. I always
glitz my final project. Enjoy your artwork. |
