We
just adore these paper clips, and want to use them around the office as
well as in our artwork! There are three sets of paper clips, each with
an interesting round or square embellishment at the end. Use them to add
dimension and a touch of aged metal to your pages, and you will also be
adding just a touch of ephemera, too. Each clip is approximately 1-1/4
long, and there are 8 paper clips in each set. You know you have to have
them all! Collage Paper Buttons are self-adhesive,
ranging from approximately 7/8 to 1 in diameter. With the
strings tied through the holes, they add the look of a button without
the weight.

Print vintage photos onto ivory 100% cotton resume quality paper,

edges with Walnut Ink (5FF-WI03 - Discontinued).

Window Keepers (5EK-RSNA028) and insert into the pocket. Attach

Window Keeper, and thread twine through all layers to keep closed.

this piece to the page using Memory
Book Glue Dots (5JV-5029). Attach the F from the Old

Type Collage Sheet (5ARTYPE), and glue to page with The
BORDERLine Rectangular Glue Stick (5AT-BORDERLINE). Cover
each type key letter with a Medium Circle Blank Page Pebbles (5MA-22923 - Discontinued). Tone down the color intensity
