Tonight’s #htgawcrafting project was inspired by Alexis aka Miss Trenchcoat<\/a>\u00a0and this\u00a0Heidi Swapp Instagram post<\/a>. I knew I wanted some cute holiday clips for my planner, but I hadn’t found anything I really liked. I love seeing all of the colorful planner layouts and accessories on Instagram, but I prefer my planner to be a bit simpler. So it can be a challenge to find just what I want. But when I saw Heidi Swapp’s post with the classy and glittery reindeer, craft magic hit me. I figured I could make the same thing for my planner, but just smaller.<\/p>\n I did some googling and came across Alexis’s Youtube video on DIY planner clips. Her instructions inspired enough creativity on my end to come up with the tutorial below on creating Heidi Swapp inspired planner clips. Let’s get started!<\/p>\n Step 1:\u00a0Cut a 12″ piece of\u00a0your gold and 12″\u00a0<\/span>piece of your white 2″\u00a0Heidi Swapp Marquee Love Glitter Washi tapes. Take your gold piece and place it on your chipboard about 2\u00a0inches from the top. Directly under the gold, place your white tape.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Step 2: Open a new document in your Silhouette Studio\u00ae software.\u00a0Adjust your paper settings for 12 x 12.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Step 3: Visit the Silhouette store and download a reindeer\u00a0design. (I got mine from Creative Market.) \u00a0Once you download your Silhouette or custom designs, separate the antlers from the top of the reindeer’s head and create 4 copies of each part. (That sounds creepy.)<\/span><\/p>\n Step 3: Place your antlers in a row about 2\u00a0inches from the top of your drawing area. Then place your heads about 2.25 inches below that. You’re trying to\u00a0align your artwork to\u00a0your washi tape on your chipboard. Place 4\u00a0sets of antlers where the gold washi tape would be and 4 heads for the white washi tape. Two make 2 clips you need four copies\u00a0– 2 fronts and 2 backs. (Tip: I realized my reindeer head wasn’t symmetrical. So to fix this, I\u00a0mirrored the head – this way the head fronts and backs would align perfectly.)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Step 5: \u00a0Send your reindeer\u00a0through your\u00a0Cameo with the ratchet blade\u00a0setting at 5 for the Silhouette brand chipboard. Remove your designs from the mat when done. (Aren’t they cute?)<\/span> Step 6:\u00a0Glue your antlers to the top of one of your reindeer heads with Zots. This will be your “front reindeer head.” Then repeat for the “back reindeer head.”<\/p>\n Step 7: Place your paperclip on the back of that front reindeer head.<\/p>\n Step 8: Sandwich your paper clip with a dab of hot glue and the back reindeer head.<\/p>\n Step 9: Wait for your pieces to dry.<\/p>\n Step 10: Place your new clip into your planner and enjoy!<\/p>\n Voila! Super simple and super cute holiday planner clips. You can probably tinker with the sizing and other designs to come up with some really cute options. Take some pics of you new clips in your pretty planners and post them on\u00a0<\/span>Instagram with the hashtag #htgawcrafting so I can see! Can’t wait to see what you came up with for your planner!<\/span><\/p>\n Till tomorrow\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tonight’s #htgawcrafting project was inspired by Alexis aka Miss Trenchcoat\u00a0and this\u00a0Heidi Swapp Instagram post.
