Creating Serendipity Shapes

Do you have lots of odd scraps of paper, and no idears as to what to do with it why not make serendipity shapes. You can use any paper for this at all old bingo cards, wrapping paper, scraps of vellum, odd scraps of papers. Tear or cut them into about 2" or smaller squares or random shapes Then glue them onto a larger piece of paper in any order I used a piece of 12x12 paper and PVA glue but you could use a glue stick or whatever you have

I just glue the pieces on to my backing paper in any order I fancied 

This is the first stage finished At this point you can add glitter, rub ons, peel off, stamped images, anything you fancy really

I added all kinds to mine at at this stage it looks to me like its a right mess, and it was destined for the bin but I had started so as the saying goes I will finished  The next stage is to cut out any shapes you fancy from this square I used a star shaped punch 

Now they are looking better but needed something else, well as everyone knows I love buttons so I thought why not add a button to each one I did not pick the colours I just went with the radom theme

The finished stars all ready to go onto a project :) 

Some close ups
