DIY Motion Wobble Spring Scrapbooking Effect Process Tutorial

Hello my friends..
As I promised, I am returning to share a process of creating a Motion Wobble Spring Scrapbooking Effect, which you can use in any craft project.

So how to make a DIY Motion Wobble Spring effect?
You are going to need:
- the same image printed twice (one or both cut out)
- copper wire (I used 24 gauge)
- pliers or TH scissors
- 1 inch cardboard circles or squares (shape doesn't matter as long as it can fit under your cut out images)
- scotch or washi tape, maybe glue
- pen or pencil
The idea of wobble is to lift up secondary image and make it shake/move/wobble
1. Take pencil or pen and wrap wire around it twice (I like mine be): half wrap; full wrap and another half wrap (you kind of getting 2 wraps in total). Snip/cut wrapped wire from the rest of the wire spool. Take it off the pen/pencil.
2. Attach one end of your springing wire piece to the 1" circle with the tape, placing it in the center of the circle.
3. Repeat the same to the other end of your stringed wire piece.
Now you should have a sandwich: paper circle, wire spring, paper circle....
Tip:
- you want to see a straight column sandwich while you are attaching your spring ends to the paper circles;
- try not to squeeze/flatten your wire spring while attaching it to the paper circles

Now its time to attached your DIY motion wobble spring to the image.

4. How to position your DIY motion wobble spring:
- find the center of your image (I used the second cut out image). Place your image on the pencil/pen and let it balance (like you see people walking the high wire in circus, they are balancing, so do the same for your cut out image). Mark the center of your image on the back. That would be the same mark for your bottom/second image.
5. Attaching DIY motion wobble spring to the image:
- cut 1 inch slit in the bottom image (that is laying face up) in the marked center and feed one side of your DIY spring paper circle through. Secure fed circle on the back of your image with tape or glue You should have pierced bottom image, that has your DIY wobbling spring sticking out of it some where in the center;
- take the other wobbling end of your DIY spring and attach it to the second cut out image on the marked center of it, on the back.
At this point you should have both of your images facing up in a sandwich manner with the DIY motion wobble spring in between those:
- bottom image has pierced through spring on top of it
- second image covers the second 1 inch circle directly above bottom pierced image

DIY Slider with Window Scrapbooking Effect Tutorial

Hello my friends..
And as I promised, I am returning to share a process of creating a Slider with Window Scrapbooking Effect, which you can use in any craft project.

DIY Motion Wobble Spring Scrapbooking Effect Process Tutorial
So what is a slider with window effect?
Basically it is a tag, that is sandwiched between two layers of paper, which are spaced out with pop up dimensional layer.
Let me show you how it works/looks in finished product (it might be easier to understand the making process).
You are going to need:
- 2 prints of the same scenery (in my case its this whimsical garden with the gate)
- 1 slightly smaller image/tag with images
- chipboard or foam
- threads & yarn or ribbons
- cutting tools
In this example I am making a jumbo tag with the gate....

 First of all you want to find a place for the window on your scenery piece (it is an opening where you can see your sliding tag images moving through). In my case the opening in the gate will be a secret door/our window...

 You see when I opened secret door/window there is another image inside - it is our tag, that will be moving...

 here I am starting to pull out this tag up and you can see change of scenery in the window...

now you can see the end of the tag on its way up...

 And here you can see on the top of my project (jumbo tag) appearance of the moving tag, while I am pulling it out...

 Here you can see that the bottom of my tag isn't showing in the secret door/window area any longer, and you can see more of the tag on the top of the project....
That is very simple concept:
- you cut an opening in the top layer  (in this case secret door)
- you pulling the tag underneaths of the top layer through the cut out opening...

 here is close up on empty window...

Oh, you'll say... How come you see the same image/opening again? Very well grasshopper!

!!! Secret of seen the same opening image as on our 1st picture of secret door/window is two layers of the same picture (whimsical garden with the gate)!!!
Do you remember I mentioned sandwiching the tag?
So I printed out the image of whimsical garden with the gate twice... My tag is moving between those two layer.. And when I am pulling the tag out of the window view, you magically seen the same scenery again...

 Simple as that!

And because you are pulling sliding tag up you can see more images here....
It's like your normal tag in the envelope, but there is a secret to that tag...
To find out that secret, watch this video...
Good luck!
