After my week long hiatus, I'm back! And what a better way to come back than with a fabulous Mother's Day gift idea? I am also using this project for This is the Year's Mod Podge Mania! Check out Xamin's blog for more awesome ideas!
Similar versions of this project are floating around out there, but this version is SUPER easy and inexpensive.
Gather your supplies:
Scrapbook paper
Glass stones/Glass tiles (the stones are less expensive and can be found at any craft store)
Pen
Scissors
Mod Podge
Sponge Brush
Let's get started!!
Take your scrapbook paper and trace around stone. Cut traced circle out-making it slightly smaller.
Apply a light layer of mod podge to the back of the stone-it doesn't need much. Place the cut circle face down onto the glue and smooth out any creases, wrinkles or bubbles that may form. Then apply another coat of mod modge over the back and edges of the paper to seal it into place. Don't worry about any run over mod podge, it is easily cleaned off later.
This part goes so fast you can make several different stones in about 15 minutes while waiting for the others to dry. The possibilities are endless!
Glue your bail onto the back and let dry for at least an hour.
Wha la! A beautiful necklace that can be interchangeable with different stones. Other suggestions for this project:
Instead of gluing a bail to the back, glue a magnet to spice up your fridge
Make a bunch, leave the stones with out any hardware attached and place them in a glass bowl for a centerpiece
Use pictures of your kids instead of scrapbook paper and send to the grandparents
Others?
I love this. I have made the magnets, but never thought of making a necklace. Wonderful. Thanks. Laura @ the mansion
ReplyDeleteGreat project, thanks for sharing. I've seen similar necklaces made from Scrabble tiles, but they are way more labor intensive. I think I like this idea better!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Thanks for an easy tutorial!
ReplyDeleteI love these! I've been wanting to try them out forever!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen them made into a pendant...I love this idea!

ReplyDeleteI've seen other versions done with scrabble tiles,, i actually like the look of the stones lots better.. And I already have stones at home.. WooHoo!! Thanks
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love my necklaces. So, hooray for that!
ReplyDeleteI like that you used this for a necklace. I've seen them a lot for magnets, but this puts a little bit of a twist on it! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!!! Gonna do this for M-Day Brunch instead of place cards!
ReplyDeleteI like how you used supplies that are more readily available, for some reason having to special order things always makes me put it off and off and off...
ReplyDeleteAwesome! This has been on my list of things to learn for the longest time now. I totally am doing some this week.
ReplyDeleteHow super cool, and cute!!! Love this! I have attempted the magnets, but wow, too cute!
