Default Granny- directions to make brad guide?

Granny, I bought some plastic canvas to make the eyelet/brad guide. Could you, would you post us some directions, instructions on how you did it?

Thanks, Sandra

I pm'd Granny and she gave me the very EASY directions. All you do is cut the plastic canvas to the size of the card front! Then you sit it on top of your card and mark for eyelets through the little holes. I used mine for the first time on Monday and it worked great!

If you bought the same size canvas you can get 5 guides from one sheet.

Just measure it against a standard size card and cut.

Be sure to cut close to a solid run so you won't have any edges sticking out to poke you. LOL
Then line it up on your card mark lightly with a pencil and go to town.

Thank you! I can't wait to give it a try. My eyelets never line up right - now maybe I will have a shot at getting them even.

Just wanted to add that this works great. I got the idea from a CTMH demo, except the one she gave me was 12 inches long...enough for a scrapbook page. But I love the idea of having it the size of a card front. What a great door prize idea! Fancy it up with some ribbon and a tag with name & contact info. Perfect!!

I like using the mesh drywall tape. Still has holes, won't move 'cause of the adhesive and is easily removed.

Ooh ooh! My plastic canvas was sacrificed at the altar of the Almighty Garage Sale this summer, but I nabbed the drywall tape that we had originally bought to patch some drywall, oddly enough, and put it in my crafting kit once I saw we were *never* going to patch anything! Now just to find it . . .

You can find it in any craft store or WalMart.
