Making Embellishments for your self can save you money.

The title of this page is Making Embellishments and there are lots of different ways to do this.

This is a selection of the things you may have in your "Stash" that can all be used, and altered, to suit your colour scheme and your creations.

These are just plain, white pearl Hat Pins that have been coloured, to match the scheme of the card, with Copics or your Promarkers.

I have an old polystyrene block, that was part of some packing, and I have pushed the pins into this to let them dry.

I leave them there to store until I am ready to use them.

And I always have some in different colours ready for me to use.

Some of the same kind of Hat Pins have been decorated with Beads.

Make sure the stem of the pin will go through the hole in the bead.

Take the plain, pearly pin, and a mixture of colours and sizes of beads, and with some strong glue add them one by one to the pin.

I have used Glossy Accents to hold my beads in place.

Then pushed them, so they are hanging downwards, into the polystyrene block, and leave them to set solid.

(Probably overnight) These are also stored on the polystyrene block ready or use.

I bought some cheap Brads in lots of colours, shapes and sizes, but after a while they get a bit boring.
