New Project

The girls and I got tired of making the flower clips and watch bands pretty quick. Here's the latest and greatest project we're doing:
Start with a Scrabble game piece and screw a little eye screw in the top. We just got ours from the hardware store. They're cheaper and easier to find than jewelry supplies.
Measure and cut a piece of scrapbook paper or small picture. and glue it to the Scrabble piece with a glue stick.Then cover it with epoxy or resin to give it that glass/tile look. We used Epoxy because 1)it's cheaper than resin and 2)it sets up a lot faster than resin.... anyway... spread a small amount of epoxy on the game piece and let it sit until it's completely cured. (about 20 minutes) Add a chain and WALLAH.... you have darling little interchangeable necklaces.
