Hi it’s Janet here with a little tutorial for you.
If you are like me I love all the flourishes and swirls that are made of crystals and bling but sometimes I find them a little pricey.
So I am going to show you a way to make a version of them that isn’t expensive at all and I think they look very pretty.
Here are the supplies that you will need.
Office type transparency
Scissors
Stickles or liquid pearls
Flourish template
In my first example I used a Bazzill template that has evenly spaced holes in it. Lay it on top of your transparency.
Place stickles or liquid pearls into each hole of the template.
Carefully remove the template. Here is what you will have.
In my next example I used a Crafters Workshop template that does not have holes so I placed the template on the transparency and traced the swirl with a pencil.
Remove the template and evenly space your stickles along the pencil line. You can always erase the pencil lines between the dots of stickles.
Now let your stickles dry. It will take quite a bit of time,maybe even over night is a good idea. Once they are dry cut them out and use them on your projects.
I think they look pretty good! I hope you give it a try.
Here is my layout using my handmade flourishes.
