Hi Everyone! Happy Easter!!
I've been so busy lately! It's hard to find the time to do the things that I love to do, when I'm so busy doing the things I have to do. I want to spend my days in my craft room being creative- but that just doesn't happen as often as I'd like.
I did get to do a couple projects today! I made Easter cards and little purses to hold necklaces that I made for my daughters' Easter baskets.
The purses were cut from Forever Young at 4 inches.
I bought the bottlecap blank charms at Hobby Lobby and cut out a design from the Hippie Chic DCWV stack to fit it inside the cap. I covered it completely with a thick coating of Glossy Accents. When it was completely dry (24 hours later), I put the bottlecap and a Tim Holtz Word Sticks Tag onto a necklace "chain" (that I also bought at Hobby Lobby).
Now each of my girls has a new necklace!
The other day I saw some bottlecap charms, in a local store, that were selling for $6 a piece (not including a "chain"). My total cost for both finished necklaces was about $3.50- and my girls Love them!!
Have a very blessed day. Thanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteJulie, cruising blogs today, love this post. The necklaces are so cute, perfect for girls. Also, FY cart, my all time favorite. I do the same thing...make Jewelry and use a cut to give them. So much nicer to gift something that is not in a little plastic bag...lol. Can't wait to see more of your creations...thanks
