Hi, this is Stephanie and I'm here to talk about adding jewels and beads to your scrap book page. If you go to any craft store, there is neat aisles of people things that people use to make jewelry and other types of things like that. There are little charms that you can use. Here are some little key charms, or a little moon, and those would be really cute on a scrap book page. There is also little rhinestones that come in all different shapes. I just found these where to decorate. I know something else these were not for scrap booking and they already have a sticker sticking on the back, so that is a fun thing to use. These are kind of kids art supplies for jewelry. But then make neat shapes. You can just apply them very simply by getting some glue dots and you see the little dot and you just press the jewel that you want to use on the back and you see it goes right on the back of the jewel and it would glue right to your page. They are thin enough that they don't add any bumps if you are worry about that. Another things that you can sometimes find in the jewelry aisles are like these little tiles and they are cute to put across the bottom of the boarder for a page. They come in different sizes, they are very thin and very easy to use and so they are cute. Another thing that is very nice to use in the scrap book page are little tiny beads that you find in the jewelry aisle. These are all different colors and you can just put a thin strip at the bottom. You can make a circle of a flower. You can either apply them with you know a sticky glue or a really easy way to use it is just double sided tape that you just pull off, stick on your page and then you just put them right on top of the tape and they would hold right down. So it is just a fun way to add color and dimension to your pages.
