Using mainly the manufacturing strips from my March stash kit's papers, I created six fun DIY Embellishments to use around my photos in this month's layouts!

I watch all the "make your own embellishments" tutorials, but mine always come out "junkie". Will try again while watching yours. Thank you.

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Definitely give it a go! I find simple is best and smaller clusters are easier to use. Hope that helps!

[@randybauer3256]

Would love to see the layouts you created using these - I can't wrap my mind around how they could be used - I am a visual learner.

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Here is the layout share showing the layouts featuring these strips: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpnLoWeDh9-efKM Hope that helps!

[@kkniker158]

Love embellishment videos. Thx

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Thank you! I really enjoy making them!

OMG Laura OMG....Girl You never cease to amaze with all of your Brilliant and Ingeniousity of using up your goodies....Your Embellishment Strips creations are so cute and Adorable!! Gosh They will add so much to a layout whether it be a title *a part of it or highlighting it or underneath by a photo my goodness ideas are funning galore thru my head and I do know how much fun it is to play and create for a bit of a Layout creation break. Thanks for sharing this was so inspirational and fun!! Thanks too for your Outstandingly Detailed Visual Tutorial *as you know I'm a visual learner this does mean so much*, & Sharing your Tremendously Terrific Tips, Tricks & Techniques!! YOU so ROCK!! Joan Smith

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Thank very much, Joan! As usual you’ve started my day with a smile! Your kind comments are such a boost to my day, every time! I cannot wait to get these onto layouts!

[@sweettreatsoverload4296]

I use them on gifts after you wrap them. Creates a more personal gift. Put them on a gift tag also. You can create a gift tag book to give as a gift. Great just because gift for a non crafter that likes to give gifts.

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Great ideas! Thanks for sharing! I managed to get all of mine onto layouts and I was super excited to use them!

[@virginiawatkins8255]

Can't wait until I see these on layouts

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Working on one right now! So excited to use them!

[@wendywilson1736]

Thanks so much for the inspiration! I always end up with strips leftover ( don't we all!?), but I want to use them for something other than glue striped panels.

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Love these DIYs, so good for using up scraps.

[@kellycrowl1500]

Love these & I just started making my own embellies!❤ Keep on sharing your cute ideas!👏🏻❤️

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Thank you, Kelly! These were super fun to make!

[@debmaguire7358]

I have never made my own embellishements from scraps but now u have challenged me to try👍

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Definitely give it a go! They are pretty quick and make for super easy layouts!

[@bonniemeister9446]

You make it look so easy.

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Thank you, Bonnie! I promise, it is! These come together super quickly and were easy to use!

[@ellengates7843]

This one I want to save and review many times. I do not make clusters, afraid, don't know how, all of the above. Thanks, Laura.

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

I'm so glad it was helpful! I have a playlist of DIY embellishments that you can make ahead of time and just add next to your photos or around your page. It's super useful if clustering is frustrating!

[@DeeBlaregold]

Great ideas! I never thought about doing this; I have collected a lot of scraps.

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Thank you very much, Dee! These are perfect to use as horizontal clusters!

[@DeeBlaregold]

@@lauraalbertscrafts I will make some. Thanks

[@harmonydesroches]

These are great! What a fun project. For "My Favorite" I always say: My favorite Binks & My favorite Milo. They're the only Binks & Milos I know so it works ;)

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Thank you, Harmony! That's a great idea, I'll have to do that too!

[@archanasmith4111]

Brilliant use of these stripes. X

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Thank you, Archana! I decided I'd better use them or they'd end up in the bin at the end of the month!

[@margaretallison2246]

I love need to get busy and make some.

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

They are so much fun to make! Ended up using all six of them too! The largest one was in tonight's live scrap!

[@pamnichols4268]

These are awesome Laura!!

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Thank you, Pam! Believe it or not, I've used all but two already! Loving how versatile these are!

[@carolnearson7932]

[@kathihaehl4540]

I love this!!

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

They are so much fun to make and super easy to use on layouts and cards too!

[@melodeeruley3809]

I love these ! I am going to give this a go tomorrow. I do take my stripes and make photo corners;. RTS showed us how to do that’s.

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Thank you, Melodee! Not surprised, Janet has some fab ideas! Is she only on Patreon now? I don't think I've seen much from her lately on KZbin.

[@tinaharsch8761]

[@susanwilliams4908]

Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas, Laura. I’ll be watching to see you use them.

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

I'm working on a layout right now with two! Love these!

[@M4pockets18Annie]

Awesome👍🏻

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Thank you, Anne! Can't wait to get these onto layouts!

[@sandraalbuquerque9908]

You are great!

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Thank you very much! This was a fun DIY embellishment to make.

[@patriciabutler8628]

Great idea 💕

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Thank you, Patricia! these were so much fun to make and use!

[@G1Becky]

I love these! I’ve made embellishments before but then not known how to use them. This is such a great idea to make them from the kit you are working with. I will definitely give this a go. I usually throw away branding strips and scraps at the end of a kit - I am definitely not a hoarder of scraps! Such a good idea not to make too many embellishments too.

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Thank you, Becky! Yes, I toss scraps at the end of a kit as well. I thought I'd see if I could get these used at the beginning of the kit so they weren't left to the end! They are so much fun to make!

[@kirieleturgez8626]

Yes yes yes! Thank you thank you thank you! I always get leftover brand strips and can't bring myself to throw them away!

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

You're quite welcome! I love when I can use up the branding strips too!

[@patarmstrong2304]

Love these & can’t wait to see you use them ! ...I made some for a swap on Love RTS and a Christmas page , they are so fun to make and easy to use. Did you see Janets ideas for these?

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Thank you, Pat! No, I was following an idea from a Vicki Boutin sticker book. Did Janet put a new video up? She hasn't posted on KZbin lately, I thought? I've done something similar to this before, but smaller and when I saw the bigger version in the sticker book thought I'd give it a go! Not surprised though, Janet has some fab ideas too!

[@patarmstrong2304]

Oh, no, she’s on Patreon!

[@ThisWomansBrain]

Have you used these yet?

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Yes! All of them made it on to layouts, you will see them in tomorrow's flip through video!

[@ThisWomansBrain]

Thank you. I look forward to it.
