Clip-It-Up Style Storage

Accent Squares

Use your scraps and a sticker maker (I choose to use the Xyron).

1. tear your scraps into pieces
2. run your scraps through your sticker maker without overlapping them (you want to make sure the adhesive covers the entire back side of your scraps)
3. stick them to some cardstock or plain paper (you can overlap here if you want)
4. cut paper into equal squares (starting with strips, then squares)
5. mat onto cardstock
6. add stickers, letters, words, brads, etc. for accent pieces or title
