These scrapbuster ephemera pieces combine torn paper strips glued onto a base and then punched or die cut. For an extra touch they are given a glossy shine with Aleene’s Original Tacky glue. This can usually be found at Dollar Tree or WalMart. One thick coat or several thin coats provide a very glossy finish. It dries fast, is not tacky when dry and gives a nice protective finish.

Try this hack on other paper projects, mini charms, buttons, puzzle pieces, ATC cards or postcards. 

Happy paper crafting!
