Patterned acetate is see-through, which means that you can layer with it, make clever packaging, or waterproof pinwheels for your garden!! The possibilities are endless..
There are several colors and patterns available.. and layering the different colors together creates a beautiful effect!! (Like the green and turquoise papers shown below).
You can even create a woven or plaid look by just layering the stripes! (Like with the pink and yellow shown below)
With the Little B mini envelope set, you can easily cut out a small envelope!! Tuck a little gift card inside and you have cute and clever packaging!!
This was one of my favorites... the tiki-style look is really "in" right now, and these little umbrellas, which are made using the die cut from Hero Arts, are WATERPROOF so they can be your little swizzle sticks for cocktails or even just a fun decoration for your outdoor Hawaiian Luau!
*The cute brown umbrella was made using the fringe border die cut from Memory Box* (I used hot glue to quickly adhere it to a plain umbrella that was cut out of paper)

This really sweet gift bag was made using white polka dot acetate. The We R punch board makes it easy to make gift bags in several sizes!!
Layer the polka dots and stripes to create this card.. combining small and large patterns with a solid base card can add a lot of depth to handmade cards!!
What can YOU do with patterned acetate?? We would LOVE to see your ideas!
