covering chip board with paper

[Saucej]

How do ya'll cover your chipboard with paper? How do you get rid of the excess? Can't figure this one out.

Thanks!

I stick it on with a THIN layer of PVA, and then when it is dry (not before, or it can drag the paper), I go round with a SHARP blade trimming the paper to fit. If necessary I use the little Basic Grey Precision files to get into any awkward little nooks and crannies, and to smooth any rough edges.

I use glue stick to stick the paper and then use my Basic Grey file kit to get rid of the excess.

I like to run the piece of chip board through my Xyron then attach the paper. I use the Basic Grey tool kit to get rid of the excess.

More often than not I cut the paper a little larger than the chipboard, coat the chipboard with Tombow glue stick, smooth it with a bone folder or squeegee and then cut little slits in the paper up to the edge of the chipboard; I add glue to the excess, and fold the excess to the back of the chipboard. I like the look of having the edges covered.

Can some one tell what is in the Basic Grey tool set? I may have tools similar to theirs but am not sure what you all are using.

They are just very small files/rasps - like a very dainty version of the DIY version for woodwork, LOL. There are two big ones a bit like emery boards for your nails, and the others are metal in various shapes suitable for getting into little nooks and crannies. An ordinary emery board will work fine for flatter edges, but the BG set wasn't that expensive so I've never regretted getting it.

I have regretted not getting it lol. Using my emery boards is not the same. Saving my pennies now! Oh and I think they are pink... yummy!

I like good ol' Modge Podge to adhere; then I use a SU! sanding block on the edges after it's dry.
