Description:

@bluemonkeymama is busy with a move at the moment so I am covering this next installment of her Bits and Pieces series, rolo's.


You know those scraps and remnants we all have left over from previous projects? The ones that are too good to toss? We're going to make use of those! I myself always have a random assortment of bits and pieces hanging around, and after awhile, they really add up. So let's get crafty and use some of our lingering scrap stash!

For this swap we'll create one altered Rolodex card for one partner using our various paper/fiber scraps. Sender's choice, in keeping with the cut+paste, collaged style. Feel free to add other mediums/embellishments as you see fit, as long as the bulk of your rolo is made using scraps.

Rolodex cards come in a few sizes but the most common seem to be 2¼"x4" and 2⅝"x4". You can use either of these common sizes; shapes other than usual rectangles are OK, as long as your card fits in a standard Rolodex. Make sure your cards are sturdy and that the back is lightly decorated (patterned paper at the least) and has your info.

Any questions, feel free to ask in the comments!

I have a box of Avery 5385 --> 21/6 x 4. Is this not standard size? how many sizes are there? new to the craft obviously

Oh geez, another size?! Just when I thought I had them figured out. I'm assuming the holes match up with the other sizes, so it shouldn't be a problem.
