Making your own Stampin' Up! Bakers Twine

Thought:

I had decided that there were so many more colors I wanted to have in my Bakers Twine Collection, so I began to play :))

 I figured that I have died our ribbon before so why not our bakers twine too??  

I used our White Bakers Twine.  I wrapped my twine around a piece of scrap cardboard.

I put a strip of double sided tape to hold the twine in place.  I tightly wrapped the twine all around the cardboard strip.

Now I figured I could color a couple different ways.  

The first experiment, I used my re-inker.  This one is done in concord crush.  I let ink drop out and created stripes down the twine,then flipped the cardboard and did the other side.

 The second experiment, was with our SU! markers.

I allowed the ink to soak a little with the markers.

If your ink seems to be running or spreading too much,you can dry with your heat embossing tool. *Note- you could also make a combination of ink and rubbing alcohol for a quicker drying ink.

Next unravel your twine:

 Now to store:

This is one of my favorite things to make...

Punch out our round tab punch and punch a hole in the top.

Wrap your twine around the tab for storage,

I like to hang mine from these ringed clips(Staples):

 FINISH!!!

Hope you enjoyed and have fun making your own twine colors!!

Until Next Thought,
