Acrylic Albums - so clear - so fun!

What can you do with Acrylic Albums or embellishments? I think the question should probably be what can't you do! Acrylic is clear so it tends to scare people, but you really shouldn't be afraid. You can alter it in so many ways that it is hard to list them all....but I will try:

Top Ten Ways to Alter Acrylic:

1. Alcohol Ink - Pick one, two, three or however many colors you like and dab the alcohol ink directly onto the acrylic. It dries pretty quickly so you can go over it again to darken or color to your liking.
   
2. Acrylic Paint - Use a paint brush or a stamp to apply the acrylic paint. Make sure you let it thoroughly dry before you do anything else.
   
3. Paper - Cover it with cardstock or patterned paper.
   
4. Fiber & Ribbon- Attach ribbon or fiber by either punching a hole in the acrylic with the Crop-A-Dile or adhere the ribbon with Terrifically Tacky Tape, but make sure you hide the tape!
   
5. Rub-ons - Use rub-ons to add words or accents.
   
6. Stamp It - Stamp it with acrylic paint or Staz On ink.
   
7. Buttons - Adhere buttons with glue dots - make sure to camouflage the backside of the glue dot!
   
8. Glitter - Make it sparkle with Stickles or other types of glitter.
   
9. Sand It - Scuff it up with sand paper.
   
10. Let it be! - Leave it clear - au natural!
