Rainbow Shimmer Trim


White to Rainbow!

 Shimmer Trim Video

As I have stated many, many times before, I use Shimmer Trim like it's going out of style! It is truly the perfect embellishment for any crafter!!

You can use it for boys, girls, pets...you name it, I have probably used it in a layout or project!
In this project I used Close to My Heart White Shimmer Trim, cut with Non-stick Micro-tip scissors, and colored with Shinhan alcohol markers. The shimmer trim has it's own self-adhesive just like tape, which allows for easy use on any crafts.

A few quick tips: 
Tip #1: Using alcohol or permanent markers is the best way to do this. I have used regular water based markers before to try it out for a customer and found that it works, but you have to rub off the excess because it won't dry on its own without smearing.

Tip #2: I promise you will want to try our non-stick micro-tip scissors for yourself. I can cut glue-dots, pop-dots, stickers, shimmer trim and anything else that is sticky without it actually sticking to the scissors!!!! It's the best thing since sliced bread! haha

Tip #3: Before you cut your length of shimmer trim, peel off the layer of plastic covering the self-adhesive and then cut just the shimmer trim. This will leave a "tail" of plastic on your spool making it easier to peel off next time.
