 Hey guys, we are here for the last video of the year for art joy of sharing Hopefully it's something that y'all find interesting this month. I got to pick so of course I picked a paperclip because you know I've been doing them for a few months now, and I'm totally hooked and addicted I got I'm gonna show you how to do a shaker clip. I have done one at least one before at the time of filming and I I Want to see how I did it. So these are actually coin holders and for you coin collectors out there You'll recognize them. My husband is a coin collector fun fact, and he said I showed them to him and he goes Yeah, huh? Evidently here. He knew what they were. I had no idea As far as I knew his coins are just shoved in a box Somewhere so I don't know anyway. They cut I have a couple different sizes. I have this big one, which is I Want to say it's 45 millimeters I think so and then I have a littler one that's like 26 millimeters or something we're gonna use the bigger one and We are going to use one of these wood rounds. These are from a Bag of them that you can get in different shapes in the same bag at Michaels If I can find the link for it, I'll put it in the video description This also came in the same bag. It has a few different shapes in it and this 45 millimeter round perfectly fits this Wood base, so we're going to use this as our base. We have a three inch paper clip I have a few different colors up here in case this is not the color I end up wanting and a strip of a Tyvek envelope Which we are going to use to attach the paper clip to the back So first thing we need to do is cover the wood base with a piece of paper because whatever I do on the inside of the shaker part is Probably the back isn't going to show so We need to find a little bit of something something to stick on there and Uses a background. Ooh, what about this music paper? That looks interesting now whatever I put on the front I usually put something similar on the back although most of it ends up not showing just because I don't like to leave the Raw wood on the back. I am going to use some tacky glue and I'm going to take my wood round and I'm going to just put a bunch of tacky glue on there You're going to need tacky glue glue and or E6000 for this project I'm going to put the glue face down on the paper and then I'm going to give it a little bit of a wiggle smush that glue around and then grab my scissors and Cut out around the edge of the round shape You can see I've already used this paper for paper clips before Okay, so we have that on one side We're going to do the same thing to the backside We can get the lid off the glue and we're going to do that again Just pick a spot Let's smush it around And then cut it out Then I like to take a old gift card and I like to just push Make sure that paper is stuck down really well okay, and Now we need to figure out what we're going to put that in the shaker part. So The first thing I usually do is cut a piece of plastic to fit the inside of the circle now You could of course do this by hand, but you know, we all have punches out there. And so I like to at least Try and punch through the plastic with one of them now it doesn't always punch very well But let me go find a punch that's the right size for this or at least close And I'll show you what I mean this viscous punch might be close. I Don't know what size it is I Don't know doesn't say Does it know But let's try it and see now sometimes because this of the nature of the plastic It doesn't want to punch all the way through but it leaves enough of an impression that I can usually Finish trimming it with scissors, but we're going to try and see what happens. I don't think it punched all the way Let's see punched part of the way Let me put my reading glasses on so I can see what I'm doing Yeah punched part of the way, but not all the way, so I find that with most of your paper punches, they're intended on painting Painting punching paper are not plastic. So they sometimes work and sometimes don't But it's usually Much easier to punch it with M One of them then it is to try to cut up a hand now. This might be big Yeah, so we're gonna trim it smaller It doesn't have to be perfect. That's why we're using clear plastic But I do want it sort of round Just keep trimming it until it fits. I didn't mean to throw that. I really didn't that fits, okay? So now we have our little piece of plastic Need some of this mess up off the table Now I like to put words inside my shakers. You could put an image in the background, but I have to put a word So the next thing we're gonna do is push all this aside We're gonna look forward now I want a word or phrases that will fit inside here without too much trouble and Be able to be seen through the background, but they don't necessarily Have to be huge Let's try I do also try to like Match the color of the background. So for instance, this is like an off-white music paper So I would probably use off-white stickers rather than black or white or some other color And you I have a lot of digital downloads of stickers in my Etsy shop So you could definitely use those I actually need to print more of my own downloads because I've used almost all of them up I also have lots of these other stickers. So I like this one and I usually just go with my first instinct This says be brave comma be bold So I am gonna need to cut it in half So it fits on our piece of plastic I will be adding a little bit of tacky glue to the back of the sticker to ensure that it stays And doesn't at some point come off It'd be bold same thing Okay, and then at some point you probably want to have handy a q-tip I want to get some of this excess glue off So I like to use a q-tip or something caught some kind of cotton swab to get all of the excess glue off or at least most of it So then the be brave and be bold fits right inside there and Then what do you fill it with to make it a shaker? Well, you could fill it with anything you could fill it with Doesn't fit completely flat. So hang on You could fill it with just about anything glitter or seed beads Flower seeds tea leaves That's better. So we are going to Find some things to put in there and I'm gonna go on a hunt because I have a couple of different things in mind I'll be right back. I have lots of these around These are nail art glitters from the Dollar Tree. They come in sets of colors and they are great for projects like this There's not a lot of it, but it's a really small tiny little glitters and Small tiny shapes and they are great for shaker cards and there's even usually some like small oops Where are we microbeads? So I picked a few colors of those out and I actually have some members said dried tea. I have some dried tea so the first thing we're going to do is Put some glue around the edge of this base a little bit of glue and glue It to our wood round. I need to get our e6000 open, which is generally a challenge for me Because there's a lot of glue on the lid. I need to get some pliers. Hang on second for you guys But it was a few minutes for me. I couldn't find my Big pliers, okay, so we're gonna just carefully Hopefully without making too big a mess Put some of the e6000 Glue around the edge of the coin holder Why e6000 because it is made for gluing non-porous surfaces together And it'll work good for this Try to wipe off the excess a baby wipe and I'm gonna just take the baby wipe around the edge and try to get some of the Access glue off Then we're gonna put our be brave and be bold in there. I'll zoom in just a little bit. There we go Then we are going to pour in a few of each of these things. I picked out a few colors orangey coppery colors and some of these little gold microbeads and Some little silver stars I think we're gonna change the paper clip out to a silver one And as I said, I've got the dry tea out and we'll see if I want to add it or not But I do have some some of this pretty so pretty coppery color Let's see there you go Doesn't want to focus All right, here's a tip. Don't do that unless the lid's on Okay I like the idea of putting something unusual in there that people go. What is that? So I do think I want to put a little bit of the tea in this is an old washed out Spice jar that I put the dry tea in after I dried it and I put the shaker lid back on So I don't get too much Just give it a dark Again, like with the glitter any little bits that didn't make it in and pick it up with my finger and put it in Okay, now to glue the to put the lid on we're gonna use some more of that e6000 and I'm going to there's a couple different ways you can do it. I Found the easier way is to do this And put some e6000 in a few spots around the edge You couldn't use super glue But if I did that I can guarantee you that I would probably end up gluing my fingers to that paper clip So I don't usually do that. All right, I'm gonna put the lid on push down Again, take our baby wipe remove any excess of glue Now you could do this and it could just be an embellishment Could be the other front of a card We're gonna of course make it like I said a paper clip I'm gonna put that lid back on our e6000 because I think I Bad enough over here. I Don't know how a person can like mess up their glue more than I have So now we're gonna put our paper clip on and to do this you can of course use more e6000 or I just use Usually use toky glue. So the first thing I do is take my strip of tie-back and why I use tie-back because it's stronger than regular paper, so so tie-back envelope and I put it between the layers of paper clip and Put it to about like halfway like that. This is the part that's going to be glued to the Shaker this is the part where you would slide it onto a page or a journal cover so this is the part that you want to glue you want the little bit out and We are going to put a bunch of glue on this like this. I'm going to center it on my clip Sometimes they use a smaller clip or a bigger clip. Sometimes I hang charms off the top or the bottom It just depends Now I'm going to turn it over I'm going to push that little bit down into the tie-back so that that center tie-back has good contact Then I'm going to push like this until that tie-back is Touching the wood base. I will usually move it over a little bit make sure it's in the middle and then I will Grab some clips That are big enough and Put them like this to hold them down While everything dries. I got glue on the front of my shaker. Don't do that Don't be me Be better than me Okay And just do that and push it as far in as it will go And this will be sort of the clamp that'll hold your tie-back down while everything dries You don't necessarily need to leave it dry a whole long time But you need to leave it dry long enough for that tacky glue to dry the e6000 will take a while to dry overnight potentially But you want to leave your clamps on there until at least the tacky glue is dry. I Usually leave things on there long enough until the tacky glue is dry Then I take a few pictures and then I put the clamps back on and leave it overnight and then I call it done You can clean up the edges later With a razor blade or your fingernail generally If you get glue somewhere where you don't need it to be like right here And once I get it to where the tacky glue is kind of sticking well, I come in like this and I trim off the extra tie-back This is when I look and make sure that there is nothing that needs to be cleaned or changed. I Give it a decent once over Okay, and then put the clamps back on shaker paperclip There you have it. I hope it's something that you find enjoyable and that you enjoy doing What strange small art parts do you have in your art room in your collection that you can use in new different and unique ways?
