Necklace Organizer for Blogger Party

Tonight I'm headed to a Baltimore Blogger Party hosted by the lovely couples from One Project Closer. I'm very excited to meet some new bloggers and see some that I have already had the pleasure of meeting before. We were asked to bring either something we've made or even a craft fail for a white elephant exchange. I really love the necklace holder we made a few months ago. I asked Rob to help me whip up another one to take to the party.

Rob took a piece of leftover wood and routed the edges. He then painted it in a bright white, and then used the same antiquing glaze we just used on our Sunday School table to give it an aged look. I picked up four cabinet knobs from Lowe's and he attached them using screws.
It was a quick and easy project. It can be any size you'd like and have as many knobs as you need as well. The cost of this project was around $13.

A Pretty Pendant

I wanted to make something special for my Sisters and Mom for Christmas this year, but I didn't have much to spend. I scored big time with these pendants from PickYourPlum a few months ago and I've been hanging on to them until I figured out how I wanted to finish them.

I love making all things pretty, and when I get out my jewelry making supplies, the kids always want to join me.

Good times.

This project takes a few days for the Gel Medium to dry so if you plan on making some, set aside 2-3 days. But after that, maybe 30 minutes total.

Easy. Quick.

Above is the images I made in Photoshop for all the girls in my family.

I just printed them out on cardstock.

I believe they print to a 1 inch square size.

Next, get your supplies. I'm using Mod Podge to stick the paper to the pendant.

Then Glossy Accents to create the gel covering over the pendant.

It dries hard like a stone and makes the Monogram stand out beautifully.

There are two styles of pendants. I cut the monograms to fit the oval pendant shape.

Next use the Mod Podge to glue the paper down. Let dry completely.

When that is done use the Glossy Accent to fill in the space. Do not shake the bottle.

Bubbles are not your friend!

Start in the center and spiral the gel towards the outer edge trying to keep things even and smooth.

Inevitably there will be bubbles, so use a straight pin to poke them.

Continue with all the pendants. Make sure they lay flat to dry.

That's why there is paper towel under a few of them because the top loop prevents the pendant from laying flat. Put them in a super safe out of the way place.

Mine went on the shelf at the top of my closet. Let them sit for 24 hours.

The gel will dry clear. I added another coat to the deeper pendants.

Again let dry for 24 hours.
