How to Get All the Free Files in the Paper Glitter Glue Library

I know it can be confusing to find files within a Password-protected library so I want to explain how to use the free library as clearly as possible. Here are the instructions on how to find any of the Paper Glitter Glue Paper Craft projects you want to make.

Steps to use the Paper Glitter Glue Library

1. First, get the password to the Paper Glitter Glue Library
2. Click the link the main library page - About the Paper Glitter Glue Library page
3. Click the CLICK HERE to get to the Password page
4. Enter the password on the Password Page
5. Now you are in the Paper Glitter Glue library - find the project you want to make
6. Download the project in the format you need
7. Unzip the files
8. Share your projects when you make them

1. Get the Password to the Paper Glitter Glue Library

If you haven't done it already, subscribe to the Paper Glitter Glue newsletter to get the password to the library. Here's the form below.

At the bottom of all my emails, I include the password. So be sure to look for it at the bottom of each of my newsletter emails.

2. Click the link to the Main Library Page

To get to the main library page which is titled as "About the Library", click the library link. But where can you find the library link?

You can find the library link in several places:

• At the top of every single webpage, there is a library link to the main library page
• Within each blog post in the section "Download the pattern"
• In the newsletter email, I always include a library link

Library link at the top of each page on the Paper Glitter Glue website

3. Click the CLICK HERE to get to the Password page

In the middle of the "About the Library Page" there is a big orange link that says "CLICK HERE". Click that link which takes you to the page where you enter the password. It looks like this photo.

P.S. Just remember, don't click the CLICK HERE on the About the Paper Glitter Glue Library photo below because it won't work. It's just a photo of the page.

4. Enter the password on the Password page

After you click the CLICK HERE button, you are taken to the Password page that looks like this.

Enter the password and then click ENTER.

5. Now you are in the Paper Glitter Glue library - find the files you want

Once you are in the Paper Glitter Glue library, you will see all of my free files in chronological order. Each project is listed in the month and year when it was made.

But they are now also listed by number. So remember either the month and year for the project AND/OR the design number to find the file you want.

Here's how the library looks once you are in.

And there is one additional trick to help you find the file you want. Use the FIND function - CONTROL + F (for Windows) or COMMAND + F (Mac) to find the file if you forget the date or the design number. The find function works for any webpage. It's a good thing to remember when you search any single webpage.

Note: The search bar at the top will NOT work to find the files when you are in the library.

The search bar at the top will not work because that searches the entire website, not just the specific page. So remember to use the FIND function (control + F or command + F) to find a specific topic on a webpage.

But the search bar does work if you are looking for something within the Paper Glitter Glue website ex. Halloween houses.

6. Download the project in the format you need

I make my files in two main zipped (zipped means compressed) formats:

• as Printable PDF (portable document format) files for printing
• as SVG (scalable vector graphics) cutting files

So if you cut your files by hand, you use the PDF files. If you cut your files using a cutting machine, then you need the SVG files.

Important - you can only open SVG files in a design program such as Cricut Design Space, Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, Corel Draw, or Silhouette Design programs.

If you don't use the SVG files, just ignore them.

But if you do use SVG cut files, then remember to open them within a program that can read them.

7. Unzip your downloaded files

I know that this step can trip people up as well. If you are on a Windows-based machine here is how to unzip the file folders:

1. Go to the File Explorer. If you can't find it or haven't used it before, type in File Explorer on the taskbar search box. Then select it.

2. Open File Explorer and find the zipped folder.

3. If you want to open the entire folder, then right click Extract All and follow the instructions.

4. To unzip a single file or folder, double-click the zipped folder to open it. Then, drag or copy the item from the zipped folder to a new location.

After you have unzipped your folder, you will be able to use your files - that means you can print your PDF files or upload your SVG files to cutting machine program.

If you are on a Mac, the zipped files open up automatically. Some things are just easier on a Mac.

8. Finally, after you have made your project with my files, be sure to share them

I love to see what you make so if you make one of my projects, please share with me on Social media or email me at [email protected] It really makes my day.
