March's necklace of the Month!!!

      March's necklace of the month is TO DIE FOR!!! It's a chevron necklace made from polymer clay & acrylic paints.

Level:
Supplies:
  • white polymer clay
  • toothpick
  • oven & baking sheet
  • acrylic paints in bright colors, paintbrush, water
  • necklace chain, 2 jump rings, pliers
  • small blade/scissors
Using a small blade, cut a chevron shape  out of a thin piece of clay. Create details and holes for the jump rings with your toothpick.

If chevrons aren't your thing, try a coat of arms.
Bake the charm according to the clay package instructions and when it's cooled, paint each section a different color.
I'm using black paint to color each line.
Use pliers and 2 jump rings to attach the charm to the necklace chain.
It's adorable!

  3. Dismount Creative

     We're all waiting for summer to start, and with the first day of Spring being yesterday, bring some summer into your home or bedroom with this gorgeous frame. One thing I forgot to mention in the video- spray the painted frame with sealant, acrylic spray finish, or whatever you have to prevent chipping of the paint.
