stretching chipboard
Dec 14 2006, 12:08 AM EST My two fave ways to use lots of chipboard... *divide purchased chipboard shapes/letters into multiple layers. I can usually get at least 2 out of an image (and I don't try to get more than 2 if it's a complicated letter or shape - some of the curves or details can be tricky.) *I buy big sheets of raw chipboard at a local art supply store. Really, really inexpensive - the last sheet I got was about 2 1/2 x4 feet for $2.25. Great for basic shapes, making covers for albums or journals, making your own picture mats. You can also print fun dingbat fonts in large sizes and use as a template w/the chipboard. 3 out of 3 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: stretching chipboard
Nov 25 2007, 7:49 PM EST My favorite way to *create* chipboard for projects is to use cereal boxes! They are the right thickness, cut easily, and with four growing boys in the house, we never run out! I either paint the cardboard, or cover it with patterned paper, so it is acid free and safe...cheap, cheap, cheap. Do you find this valuable? |
