Ghost Necklace with Clear Scraps!

Hi, Connie here with a cute project using the small Ghost Pallet shape by Clear Scraps.   These small pallet shapes make fun and easy necklaces that children (and fun adults) will want to wear on Halloween night!!!

This is really an easy creative project.  Start by painting the ghost white.  Add the face with bright and different colors of paint.  I went with green for the eyes.  I used the spider web stencil, by Clear Scraps, and added it to the corner of the ghost pallet.  The chipboard bat is embossed and then adhered with a strong adhesive.  Next tie green twine around the ghost and add a orange button. Punch a hole in the top ( with the crop-a-dile) and add an "o" ring and then the chain.  Add a small piece of distressed fabric by the "o" ring.  Seal with a mat varnish and call it done and cute!!!



Supply list:
Clear Scraps: Sm. Ghost Pallet, 6" Spider Web stencil and Chipboard Bat embellishments
Beacon Adhesive
Other:
Acrylic paint/DecoArt
Embossing powder/Emerald Creek
twine, fabric, button

Try It Tuesday~Pinterest lift!!!!

I first saw these Dictionary Necklaces on Pinterest ~ I thought I can make those~well I didn't have a dictionary that I was willing to cut up but I did have an Encyclopedia, that will work!!!  These are done using Epiphany Crafts bubble caps 25 round and square with their setting charms. The brown one is a baby buggy {super cute}!!!!

I had two different ways to make them ~ first the glass tiles that you use Glossy Accents on to adhere the paper to the glass tiles and Epiphany Crafts.  I had both sets of supplies so I made them two different ways and loved how they both came out!!!

Glossy Accents and the glass tile version~

Not only did I use the words, I used the glossy pictures also.  I wrote artist on this one~

And there you have it.  Very fun to make!!!

Tomorrow is a travel day so I'll see you in the evening~Take care and I'll see ya soon!!!!

Scrappy news coming soon!!

Try It Tuesday~Necklaces!

I started with 7/8" x 7/8" glass tiles and some bird graphics. I used Helmar Antique Sealer on the back of the tile and then setting it on the paper {with the bird image on it} and let it dry. I then cut it out of the image paper. Now I have my bird image on the back of the glass tile, I then glued the pendant bail onto the back of the glass tile with Helmar Gemstone Glue. The next step I glued felt to the back of the tile using Helmar 450 Quick Dry.

Pretty, right!!! These go pretty fast and the glue works fantastic!! Then I thought about using one as a gift, so this is what I did.

The envelopes are by Tim Holtz and the paper is by Jenni Bowlin.  I used Helmar 450 Quick Dry to glue on the embellishments, to the front of the gift envelope.  Very fun, crafty project!! 

Thanks for stopping by today and I will see you soon!!!
