Build – with Frugal Metal Embellishments

Featuring Graphic 45

In my house, there always seems to be bits of metal laying around – such as screws, bolts, washers and various other whatnots – picked up from who knows where and brought home because you never know when you might need it.  LOL.   I was tidying up one day and the metal washers caught my eye as a potential embellishment because they are flat and lightweight.  I repurposed most of the washers on this layout from my husband’s stash, but they are also very inexpensive to purchase at a hardware store, usually about 15 cents each depending upon the size.

The Typography collection from Graphic 45 was perfect for this layout.  It is simply gorgeous.

I used my favourite chalk ink in ‘Blackbird’ and a foam applicator by Clearsnap to smudge the edges of the layout in black and give it the right feel.

As always, adhesives are important, especially when using non-traditional embellishments. Beacon Adhesives 3-in-1 liquid glue was perfect for attaching the metal washers and making sure that they stayed put.  And I always reach for my Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D foam squares to add dimension to my layouts.

Here is my final creation!

    I love the use of the washers on your scrapbook page. This is something I would never have thought of. Thank you for the inspiration x

    That is an awesome layout. Did you do anything to the washers to clean them or make them acid free? I actually bought bolts and things in the jewellery section, just haven’t used them yet. They were cleaner than my husbands. lol
