I have been feeling the urge to get all crafty here as of late, and, in addition to the paracord(survival) bracelets I learned to make last week, I have been looking at alot of DIY tutorials on how to make those really cool stack bracelets I keep seeing everywhere.
Well, today, going in an entirely different direction, I am teaching myself how to make pendants for neck-laces! I had read a ton of tutorials on pinterest over the past months using glass bezels, modge podge and decorative paper, and that was my thought going to Hobby Lobby today. Only .... I couldn't find the sealer I was looking for and had to upgrade my novice skills to using Ice Resin. As a result, I went with the silver shadow box bezels to make the project easier first time out.
WOW! Did you know you resin ANYTHING? If it fits in the bezel, you can resin and seal it in! What Fun!!!!! I found this happy little red heart (in a pack) that contrasted perfectly with the black paper, a charm dangle that will attach to the black leather cord and hang in front of this center piece. I like it alot! And, it turned out much nicer in reality than I had imagined in my head.
It's always exciting to try new things. It's even better when they come out as nicely as you hoped!
Today's craft was a victory, and the first of many to come.
