CHA - Day 3 - Necklaces & Pins - How 2
I am almost fully recovered from the "gremlin" like flu that took over Steve and myself. Steve is back at the doctor today :( and I am back to blogging. I have so many things to report about!!!!
First - Day 3 of CHA - Mod Podge Necklaces
Second - Day 3 Of CHA - Cork Stamps
So kick back and enjoy!
These little necklaces are so easy to make and are a great way to use up left over scrap paper!
Supplies:
Mod Podge
Wood Disk
Drill or Paddle Pendant Back
Chain
Decorative Paper
Foam Paintbrush
Scissors or Circle Punch
Jumpring
How To:
Cut or punch a circle of decorative paper slightly smaller than your disk. Apply Mod Podge to the front and back of the paper and attach to the disk. (press out any air bubble with your finger) Add 2 top coats of Mod Podge for durability. Once dry drill a small hole towards the top or glue a paddle pendant back to the back of the disk. Add a jumpring to the hole and thread onto a chain.
I love big eyed art!
The rings are made with scrabble tiles.
Supplies:
Cork Stamp - 4 leaf
Folk Art Fabric Paint
Medium Weight Fabric
Fusible Webbing
Pinking Sheers
Tulle
Decorative Button
Pin Back
How To:
Fuse 2 small pieces of fabric together using a fusible webbing. (This adds stability to the pin) Coat the cork stamp with Folk Art fabric paint and stamp in the center of the fabric. Allow to dry and heat set with an iron. Trim around the stamp creating a flower shape. Add a few layers of tulle behind the flower shape, sew a button in the center and a pin back to the back. Trim the tulle to match the curves of the flower shape. Wear your pin with pride!

My three daughters and I continually find your show inspiring and fun. Your projects can be seen around our house, jewelry boxes and our friends' houses, too (gifts). Thanks for giving great ideas in such a fun way!
