Vinyl Siding Bookmarks

While my husband and I were on an errand at Lowes to buy painting supplies somehow I ended up next to a display of vinyl siding swatches.  I loved the colors and the wood grain!  Ever the crafter I immediately turned to my husband and said "Do you think they would care or notice if I took one of each color!?  I want to make something out of them!"  Who says the paint swatch cards should have all the fun?!!!  There are plenty of little freebies laying around begging for a use.  I whipped out my trusty Mod Podge and my new Homespun Chic scrapbook paper by Melody Ross and turned my swatches in to a pile of cute bookmarks!

Materials:

Vinyl Siding Samples

Mod Podge

Paper or Fabric

Pencil

Scissors

Foam Craft Brush

Directions:
1. Trace the siding sample onto paper/fabric.  Cut out slightly inside of the trace line so there is no paper/fabric overhanging when laid on top of the siding.

2. Paint Mod Podge onto the back of the siding and paper/fabric and allow both to start drying until they are a bit tacky.  Place the paper/fabric on top of the siding and smoothe out any bubbles.  While it is drying make sure to smoothe out any bubbles that may appear.

3. To finish, coat with a layer of Mod Podge and Allow to dry.  Enjoy!

Check out the finished product!  I really love this Homespun Chic paper! The vintage fabric and pattern prints makes me want to sew something.
