Tag it

I was looking to

do something different 

in some jewelry pieces

 and found this tutorial

French Enameled Letters 1

French Enameled Numbers 2

I modified some of it

First I scratched

the surface od the key tags

(I purchased these at ACE

for .99 a piece

 They do have 

larger ones for 1.59)

with sandpaper

(I didn't take any photos

of this step)

Spray painted them 

my old stand by

Rustoleum Heirloom White

in the tutorial they used black ink

Michaels was out of it

 and I decided to try StazOn timber brown

using Recollections Elegant Double

I think I like the brown better

After stamping the tutorial

had you put them in a 350 degree

oven to heat then sprinkle 

Recollections 

Detail Embossing Powder

and let it melt - I tried that 

but it didn't seem to really

work for me

so I lightly sprinkled the

tag put it in a 350

 and waited for it to melt

You MUST stay close by

as it melted I would sprinkle

more on to get better

coverage

I also tried

using glossy accents

to see what happened

It takes a day to dry

it does give the same look 

but much

more time

Tomorrow I will be designing

necklaces with these...so stay tuned!

Upcycle Ornaments

I bought these tin tasting spoons

this summer at Extravaganza not having

a clue what I would do with them

until this morning!

Basically

I modpodged sheet music

on the bowl

and sprinkled glitter

added some bling

and w/ my dremel made the holes

and attached the crystal

this one I used 

a old looking Santa 

This is an old outdoor faucet

I added rhinestone bling

and a ribbon

These items are 

available at a local store
