Use Charms in Your Scrapbook
Metal charms aid a unique personalized element to scrapbook pages.
Charms are available in all sorts of sizes and shapes to fit nearly
any theme. In this way, charms can be added to memento, graduation,
or gift scrapbooks to create a personalized feeling to the page.
There are several ways to attach charms to your page. One way to
attach metal charms is by sewing the charms directly onto your page
with thread or embroidery cotton. This method works well on
scrapbooks with fabric backgrounds.
Another method is to string wire through the charm and attach both
end of the wire to secure eyelets. The ends of the wire are then
pushed into the background where it is hidden from view.
A
third method is to glue the charm directly onto the scrapbook page.
Most regular glues do not work on metal. However, check out your
local hardware store for metal glues or contact cement. These
specialty products will work just fine.
