CRAFTING TIP OF THE WEEK (#133 ) ARE YOU MY BRAD'S KEEPER?

Why YES Crafty Friends- Your brads usually come in some type of package that keeps them in place.

But did you know that your brad's keeper can also serve as your assistant?

You know those foamy pads that some brads come packaged in that look like this?

The two pictured here both have a sponge/foam base where the brad has been inserted.

THOSE ARE THE ONES YOU WANT!

Why?

Because you can reuse those to insert your brads & buttons that you may want to color, ink, mist or Copic.

They will sit securely & upright in the slot. You can apply your color of any kind & let it dry right in place. Then when it is completely dry you simply lift it out of the slot and use it in your project.

Now if I know you creative souls you will probably find more uses but for now I thought you would be inspired by how I recycle these brad keepers.

Just don't forget to remove the brads that come on them unless of course those are the ones you are getting inky with!
