Bobbin Template

 

Sherry, from Rustique Gallery

asked me if I would post

the template from my card bobbins.

As soon as I saw her request I traced it.

So here is my little template. :)

 

 

 

 If  you click on

the above image, you should get a larger image.

Just click and save to your pc. Otherwise just click on this and you can save it. When you

print it, you could print the 8 x 10 form

when  you see the preferences box that pops up.

My cardboard pieces are approximately

3" by 4 1/2".

I hope this works for you.

 

Once you get the desired size.

You can find graphics from

Karen's "The Graphics Fairy"

Sometimes I purchase graphics from

Etsy. So many are cheap and one of a kind.

I also used scrapbook paper! And I ran out

of my fav they no longer make! :(

 

Use any weight cardstock or cardboard from

cereal boxes, picture frame cardstock, cardstock

from scrapbook ends. I always save heavier cardstock

from bedding packaging, between the folds in sheets.

I also purchased some from a gal on Etsy, just to see.

 

To make my bobbins sturdier I used cardstock from Walmart

to print my graphic on. I glued both sides of the

original card stock with graphics

to make them sturdier and they will last much longer.

 

 

I use precision scissors to cut them out.

To glue onto the cardstock I use a glue pen or

a glue with two way applicator.

Elmer's, Scotch, Martha Stewart, any of these

makes a pretty good glue pen or two way

applicator. I used what I already had.

I needed the control to apply it to the

cardboard. If your card bobbins curl

you can flatten by placing a heavy book on

it before it drys. Usually mine dried flat without

a book.

 

 

 

 

 

After they dried  I inked the edges with any color Tim Holtz

ink.  Let that dry and start wrapping your lace! I'm making white cards with black graphics with an Easter

theme. Will post later.

 

Did I leave anything out?

Let me know how yours turn out.

 

Enjoy.
