I've been making these great charms for those bland places on my jewelry. I thought I'd make a tutorial for all of you because these are so easy!
All you need:
*Paper of choice (I used old hymnal pages)
*Round plastic pieces (You can use metal as well)
*Water base glue (I used Mod Podge)
*Mod Podge Dimensional Magic
*Lighter
*Needle
These are some plastic tabs I took off of an old necklace.
I made a heart-shaped hymnal box for one of my friends on her birthday. I had a million little heart pages left over. This put the to good use. :)
I just traced the circles over words I like or pretty music notes.
I put a small amount of glue on the paper and the black tab.
After the glue dried I used a lighter to burn the edges.
The if you're using metal tabs definitely use pliers or tweezers to hold the tab, I used my fingers but I wouldn't recommend it.
Sometimes the plastic curls. You can use your knife to cut the thick edges. Personally they don't bother me so I just left them.
Now your going to take those small pieces and cover them with a generous amount of Dimensional Magic.
Pop any bubbles using a needle
Let dry over night
Once dry, poke holes and there you have it.
God Bless.

Those are really clever!
ReplyDeleteI really like how you used hymnal pages for them!
Where did you find an old Hymnal?
By the way my necklace just arrived, and I love it!!
I'm so glad you are pleased with the necklace! :D
ReplyDeleteWe have a bunch of old hymnals so I dedicated one to use for crafting. I also have a bible i use strictly for crafts and I'm about to buy a dictionary to do the same.
Really cute and easy idea! Nice!!
