Happy Valentine's Day!
I am lucky to be able to work with all of the talented contributing artists for Cloth Paper Scissors. Not only do I get to see their art, up close and personal, and learn new techniques, I also pick up some great little tricks along the way.
I decided to share a few of these tips with you.

I learned this helpful tip from Kari McKnight Holbrook. SO simple . . . and SO smart!
You know those little plastic clips that hold bread bags and the like closed? Kari uses one to keep the end of a roll of tape accessible.
No more searching for the end of any tape roll for me!
I picked up this little tidbit (and lots more!) on Kari's Cloth Paper Scissors Workshop DVD (Backgrounds to Bindings).
Coming soon!

Mixed-media artist Mandy Russell sent her "Paint 'n' Stitch Cuffs" for the May/June 2012 issue of Cloth Paper Scissors to us on fluffy paint rollers.
What a great way to keep the cuffs in shape. And it made for an easier photo shoot, too.

Another tip from Kari McKnight Holbrook involves using a floss threader. Yes, the same thing you use for flossing your teeth!
Kari uses the threader to help slide threads, fabric strips, or fibers through the holes when binding a journal or book.
A real time saver!

It's always fun to learn tricks for making something easier to accomplish.
Do YOU have any tried-and-true tricks that simplify your art making or getting your art to its new home?
I'll continue to share, and hope you will, too. Leave a comment here.
