Make It: Altered Lockets
Make It: Altered Lockets
Supplies:
Mod Podge – matte
Mod Podge – gold glitter
Foam paintbrush
Detail paintbrush
Dimensional magic
Locket
Small scraps of paper
Scissors
Rhinestones
Gem glue
How To:
1. Begin by cutting a background paper that will fit the front of the locket. Attach the paper by applying a generous coat of Mod Podge to the back and front side of the paper. Position on the locket and use your fingers to press the paper around the curves of the locket. Don’t worry about crease lines.
2. Next add a smaller decorative image to the center of the locket using Mod Podge. Allow to dry.
3. Glue a boarder of rhinestones around the smaller image or in your desired pattern.
4. Using a detail brush, add a few clumps of the glitter Mod Podge to the edges to add highlights and depth. Allow to dry.
5. Squirt a small amount of dimensional magic on the smaller image. Use a detail brush to spread the dimensional magic in an even coat over the entire image. Allow to dry and attach to any necklace.
