Brads for Scrapbooking

Brads are two-sided elements created for securing paper. They are usually used for decorative purposes. They can add movable elements to your projects and make them look more professional and original. They are also used to add more texture, color, and charm to the work itself.

In short, brads are small elements that are used to connect separate segments to each other. They are easy to place and will add a finished and beautiful look to compositions, projects, or gifts.

Brads have numerous applications and come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. They can be used to decorate cards, albums, bags, belts, to secure separate segments, for scrapbook projects, and more.

 

Application and Purpose

One of the widest applications of brads is in scrapbooking. There, they are mainly used for securing elements to the page, adding a decorative element, attaching decorations, or acting as corners for photos.

Besides small brads, you now have the opportunity to choose from a wide variety of sizes, colors, and interesting designs.

How to Place Brad Elements?

1. Before you start, place an old mouse pad or something similar underneath to protect the table or surface you’re working on from potential damage. Then make a hole in the sheet where you want to place the brad.

If you want it to be smaller, you can use a needle for more precision, a pin, a craft knife, or any other paper-piercing tool at hand. For a larger hole, be very careful not to tear the paper too much when piercing it. The hole is made so there’s a place to insert the legs of the brad element.

2. Insert the element into the hole on the paper and flip it over to spread the legs outward, like a butterfly. Try to flatten the legs as much as possible.
3. This step is optional. You can secure the brad element with a piece of tape or just leave it as is.

 

Using these tiny beauties called brads will diversify your creative vision and help you brew new ideas for future craft projects or existing ones.

Furthermore, you’ll breathe new life into old accessories like bags or belts, personalize a gift or create a unique design in your scrapbook or notebook to showcase your signature style.
