Wag-O-Meter

I really had fun with this little thank-you card using some of Eyelet Outlet's dog themed products! 

The "Wag-O-Meter" image is from Cricut's Paper Pups image set. I used the slice tool to take off the part of the image and then used curved text and print-then-cut tools to create the numbers.  

I embellished this card with one of the Eyelet Outlet puppy brads, an enamel arrow, paw print brads, wood grain washi tape, paw print washi tape, and skinny red washi tape.  

Check out the Eyelet Outlet online store for more dog-related brads and washi tapes and check back often, because you never know when even more great dogthemed products will be released!  😉

Paper Weaving Gift Bag

Things are getting festive here at Eyelet Outlet!  Here's another gift bag that takes an inexpensive bag and turns it into a beautiful gift bag for the holidays.  It's one that will be used year after year.

I enjoy paper weaving, however, this project takes it to another level by weaving with Eyelet Outlet Washi Tape!  Yes, washi tape. 

In this example, three different washi tapes are used:  1 solid and 2 with small details on them.  Prepare the washi by placing it on white cardstock and use a paper trimer to cut to the width of the washi tape creating strips of washi.  Measure the length and width of the bag to determine the length of the strips.  From there, this project follows the standard paper weaving technique.  Note:  weave the washi strips and adhere the woven strips to a piece of cardstock;  the cardstock is then glued to the bag.
