"Hi this is Stephanie and now we are going to talk about adding brads as an embellishment to your scrapbook pages. Brads are, a lot of people call them paper fasteners. You can buy them in office stores. This is a large one, they come in many different sizes. Here is our extra big, regular and this is probably the normal standard size I would say and they also come you know very decorative. They come as flowers, stars, hearts. The little small ones are called mini brads. You can also change the color of brads just by using some acrylic paint if you wanted to match your page perfectly. You can use embossing ink to change them. You can even turn them over and use this on your page, just kind of as a way to use them. The easiest way to probably add brads, I am going to add one to this page; is to use a paper piercer. A paper piercer is very, very sharp so you want to be careful when you are using it not to poke yourself. For this one I am going to add a brad right to the center of this flower. It is very easy, just poke it through and you get a nice little hole. You take the brad and push it through, turn your paper over and just simply put the little legs down as so and then your brad is attached. And brads are also great to use on corners of things, just to kind of balance things down and they are great for holding velum and things like that down as well."
