Hello Gypsies!
It’s been forever since I’ve been able to spend time
crafting and blogging. The challenges of real life, real job, and real-world
commitments became pretty darn overwhelming this past year. But I’ve made a
pledge to put myself first a little more for the new year, and I’m starting
here with my blog.
Way more than a year ago I made my very first video tutorial – Paper
Chain Mania! It was a blast to make and lots of fun to watch, so I’ve
dusted it off for the blog today. Hi to my peeps at Authentique Paper, who featured this video as part of their Xmas in July blog last year.
Some people were curious about how I shot the video. Here’s
my high-tech video studio. Note the iTouch perched on a stick – very
sophisticated!
The papers I used in this video are Xmas colors, but you can
easily substitute gold and silver for some festive New Year’s Eve decorations.
Paper chains are a great substitute for streamers at birthday parties and can
make quick garlands to dress up a simple get-together.
Check out the video for all the steps, then grab some paper
strips, your stapler and maybe a little champagne and get yourself chained up!
