DIY_card_wobble_springs

Wanna put a little spring in your step..er...card? Well today I will show you how to make little springs that will make your card or scrapbook element wiggle and wobble. The card will even fold flat so you can fit it in an envelope. All you need is 28 gauge wire, an knitting needle and hot glue. C'mon, put a little wiggle in it!

I love aluminum clap light from the hardware store, then i purchase daylight CFLs 100 watt equivalent to go in them to save energy costs and get a lot of light or the Reveal incandescent bulbs. The bonus for the reveal for me is that my craft room is not heated to in the winter it kicks off some heat:) I clip the lams to my ceiling joists but if you have a regular room you can use those bulbs in regular lamps. The Ott lights at Joanns are best for task lighting, right over your workspace.

The brushes with watercolor paint inside are made by both Beinfang (expensive) and Elmers (cheap) and they are great! Look for the Elmers ones in the kids section of the art supply store and the Beinfang with the quality art supplies but they are harder to find. Sams club used to have a set of 16 for $10 but they no longer carry them. Try amazon, they usually have decent prices:) Or just use watercolor paint, it works just fine:)

thank you so much for your tutorials. I just purchased the pop-up cat, dog and forest...can't wait to get them and try them out. You're the boss.

Cute idea. Thank you for sharing this. I have seen the wobblers and thought about trying them. I'm a wire wrapper so I think I'll make my own. How frugal!!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Both dragonflies are by About Art Accents and the stencil is Crafter's Workshop:)

[@thefrugalcrafter]

The stencil I used was by Crafter's Workshop, I got it on clearence from $2.50 at ACmoore

Thanks for sharing this...I struggled with trying to glue the springs between 1/2 inch circle punch pieces to adhere to my projects. Hot Glue! Duh! Thanks Lindsay, You are the BEST! Btw...I would love to get one of your cards and I probably WOULD have that reaction! :) Valerie

Lindsey, love your tips! How-d-do! :-) Loking forward to learning how to make my own sprays. ~Jeanne

[@thefrugalcrafter]

thanks so much:)

[@leodiamond73]

Love the wiggly dragonflies! That would be so cute using spiders at Halloween. Where did you get that beautiful butterfly template you used on the envelope? I tried to pause the video but still couldn't see the name of it. Looking forward to the spray ink and glimmer mist video!

[@pio4lfe]

Hi Lindsey, what a beautiful card!! I too wanted to experiment and make my own wobblies, thought about using leftover pen refill springs, but your idea is great, thanx! I was wondering which companies the dragonfly stamp & the stencil was from...or did you make them yourself?? So detailed and pretty. Thank you again

[@TheEdnac]

I am so thrilled to find you & your video's!!! Can you suggest the best type of lighting? My craft room is dark? I have seen at Joann's, lights they have "day light" what would you suggest.

[@ivetteacosta8771]

Always an inspiration.... lol

[@littleredwagonstudio]

super cool!! hugs, Stephie =D

[@charsbabushka]

Thank you very much for the info.

[@rdecook651]

you know, if one has some old pens or pencils that use spring action, those springs could be used for smaller items.

[@charsbabushka]

Thank you for the video. I could not understand what you were saying about the paint brushes. Could you please tell me if they are a current item and who the manufacturer is? Do I need to look for them on line or should the craft stores have them? Thank you.

[@debbiehayslrtte]

Cool. Tfs, Debbie

[@loststamper]

Cool! how fun, i thought it was one of those 'wobbles' that you'd have to find, probly online, but this worked really well, ! I'll have to dust off my glue gun! I was wondering how you were going to manage to get that to stick! thanks. Cute card.

[@effie924]
