How to use the Apple Green Vintage Trim while scrapping!


Recently, I used some of the Apple Green Vintage Beaded Trim on a scrapbook layout, and I thought you would like to see it!

This trim can get kind of roly poly on the layout, so I sewed it on with DMC floss, I laid out the trim along the bottom of the layout, used a paper piercer to punch two holes every inch or so...and the combined to sew...it's really quite hidden...and there are no adhesives showing!

So many uses for this awesome trim! Check it out, and it's friend, the AQUA color in my Etsy shop! Stock up for that home decor or sewing project!

Wonderful new trims and velvets at LittleRedCottage.etsy.com!


Check out all the new lovely trims, battenburg laces, and velvet goodness now listed in the shop's Trim Section!
This brown is just begging to be put into a scrapbook page...imagine the lovely border it would make, you could embellishment it further with buttons or brads!
I love red! The Red Venice Trim up above is no exception, I love the delicate loops and scallops along the edge...more must-haves for your scrapping and papercrafting!
