While my husband and I were on an errand at Lowes to buy painting supplies somehow I ended up next to a display of vinyl siding swatches. I loved the colors and the wood grain! Ever the crafter I immediately turned to my husband and said “Do you think they would care or notice if I took one of each color!? I want to make something out of them!” Who says the paint swatch cards should have all the fun?!!! There are plenty of little freebies laying around begging for a use. I whipped out my trusty Mod Podge and my new Homespun Chic scrapbook paper by Melody Ross and turned my swatches in to a pile of cute bookmarks!
Directions:
1. Trace the siding sample onto paper/fabric. Cut out slightly inside of the trace line so there is no paper/fabric overhanging when laid on top of the siding.
2. Paint Mod Podge onto the back of the siding and paper/fabric and allow both to start drying until they are a bit tacky. Place the paper/fabric on top of the siding and smoothe out any bubbles. While it is drying make sure to smoothe out any bubbles that may appear.
3. To finish, coat with a layer of Mod Podge and Allow to dry. Enjoy!
Wow, you definitely made good use of those used sidings by turning them into bookmarks. You just gave me an idea for all the scrap sidings I have from the recent renovations I had with my house! I'm using pictures of tanks and planes as designs for mine! I'm sure they'd look good with my history books!
