1. Using the Aleene’s Tacky Double-Stick Sheets as a pattern for size, cut three pieces of kraft paper and two pieces of foil slightly larger than the Double-Stick Sheets.
2. Use the Double-Stick Sheets to glue the three layers of kraft paper together.
3. Glue one piece of foil to each side of the layered paper.
4. Use the side of the pen to rub the entire surface of the foil so that all of the layers are firmly adhered right out to the edge. Using the Double-Stick Sheets as a straight edge, cut away excess foil and kraft paper.
5. Run layered paper through embossing machine to create texture.
6. Cut to desired shapes and sizes.
7. Punch hole at top of each piece for jump ring.
