The final day of our week long partnership with Clear Scraps!
We hope you've enjoyed the projects and now are thinking of new ways you too can use Clear Scraps Acrylic products and GlueArts adhesives in your crafting!
Today we have two final projects that we just know you'll love! Designer Patti Milazzo made a gorgeous home decor piece that just makes us smile! She stamped with paint on the acrylic for a unique background and softened the acrylic with heat to shape the flowers. Imagine that smile if you gave this as a gift!!! Designer Jan Hennings has a fairytale album that is perfect for gift giving to a special couple. Or consider making a Guest Register as well to match!

With a long pair of craft tweezers or other tool to protect your fingers/hands, hold the acrylic flowers in front of a heat gun – keep the piece in motion a few inches from the nozzle to prevent it from overheating too quickly. When it starts to curl slightly, pull away and carefully shape the petals as desired. Watch your fingertips!
