Welcome to Clear Scraps Week with GlueArts!

Welcome to Day Two of our Clear Scraps week!

Many of you posted you've hesitated about working with acrylic because truthfully you felt out of your element. And needed ideas for how to work with it.

Well once again the Glue Girls are thinking outside the box!

Designer Linda Albrecht has a beautiful door hanger! Love that she diecut a shape out of the acrylic to fit over a door nob. And note...she made this out of an album!

Designer Lesley Landgon has an equally beautiful layout that uses the Deco XL Clear Shapes for the background of her stunning layout.

4. Cut strips of patterned papers. One for the paper ruffle and 2 for the pinwheel shape that you will layer behind the premade flower the accordion fold at 1/3" intervals. You will need to glue the ends of the 2 cut for the pinwheel together.

5. Use hot glue to adhere the paper pinwheel to the left side of the clear tag, holding it flat and in place until the hot glue starts to cool.

6. Use Ribbon Adhesive to adhere the lace trims to the tag as shown.
7. Use hot glue to apply the paper ruffle then roughen up the edges with sand paper and your finger. Roughen up the edges of the paper pinwheel under the flower also. Apply artificial greens and leaves with the hot glue gun.

8. Use a punch to add holes to the scalloped edge of the clear tag.
