Today’s tips are all about PHOTO CORNERS…

• Create your own photo corners and recycle, too, but cutting off the corners of used envelopes. Make them as large or small as you like, and make them match your project using ink, paint, or stamps.
• Ribbon Photo Corners: Select a ribbon and cut to a little more than double it’s width. Fold the top corners to the bottom center. Iron it and place it on your page with an adhesive.
• Use your deco scissors (edged scissors like Fiskars) to cut a 1.5 inch square in half and make your own photo corners with different edges.
• A lot times you might want to keep pictures removable but find the plastic or paper photo corners detract from the layout. You can hide these photo corners behind other embellishments such as buttons, to keep them from view. Simply attach the button to the photo corner before hand, perhaps with glue dots, then attach the photo corner to the page. Just make sure that the adhesive you use to attach the embellishments doesn’t run over the top of the photo corner. This way you can add embellishments that might better suit your page, yet still keep your photos free.
• To store all your metal photo corners , brads and small embellishments, use a divided pill box. You can find them in your dollar stores nowadays!
• There are many photo corner sticker designs on the market: try Heidi Swapp and 7Gypsies to start.

So the next time your looking for some ways to dress up the corners of your photos, don’t forget the “photo corner”.
