I love chipboard, and I especially love covering it with patterned paper. The problem is, sometimes the paper can ‘roll’ or ‘bunch’, which causes ripples, especially when covering large pieces.
As scrapbookers, we put the adhesive onto the paper first, then adhere it to things. Unfortunately, this is likely the reason for these ripples! Next time, put the adhesive onto the chipboard first, then attach the paper. After that, use an X-acto knife to ‘trace’ and cut away excess bits of the paper that hang over the edges.
You’ll have not only smooth coverage, but also avoid any ripping of small paper pieces when trying to completely cover it with adhesive!
Happy Scrapping!
