3. Beading
Erin Roe works beads into many of her layouts. Here, beadwork adds color and dimension in a way that complements her simple design.
Tips
• Let a shape be your guide. Because Erin’s smallest photo was backed by a wide heart-shape mat, it was easy for her to follow the shape when applying the beads.
• Add bling. Beads and jewels bring a touch of sparkle to layouts. Erin adhered her beads with dimensional glaze to make sure they stayed put. For another way to add beads to your pages, download step-by-step instructions for making beaded die cutes here.
