Clear Accent Card. Use clear scrapbooking embellishments to add quick detail to a card. Die-cut flowers from a transparency, then adhere small colorful circles to the end of each petal. Attach a fabric scrap to the center to easily express your sentiment.
Recycle empty paint cans with other metals. If dried paint fills a can to a depth of about a half inch or less, dry it in the can and recycle the paint can. If you have a more-or-less full can of dried latex paint, unfortunately, the next step is to remove the lid and toss the whole can in with the trash. We agree.
General Guidelines. 1  Wipe off any excess paint using a cloth or soft tissue. 2  Rinse the brush in turpentine or oil if you've been using oils, or lukewarm water if you've been using a water-based medium. 3  Wipe the brush on the cloth again to remove the last of the excess paint. Wash gently using a little bit of mild soap (or a gentle dishwashing liquid). Dab the brush gently onto the piece of soap, then work up a lather in a small container or the palm of your hand if you're not using any toxic pigments or solvents.
