If you know me at all, you know I am an avid repurposer. Why just the other day our chef was cutting up asparagus, and I scored a whole handful of purple rubber bands!
So what if they have sku numbers on them...they're PURPLE!
Anyway, I have a necklace to share today. I made the tags from a metal tin...the one my Prismacolor Pencils came in.
After cutting the tags with tin snips that I got at a yard sale for 50 cents, I sanded the edges with a file, and punched holes with a nail.
This is the reverse side:
I then printed off four images from Gecko Galz' Baby It's Cold Outside Collage Set. I made them the same size as the tin pieces. Then, I glued them in place with Glossy Accents, and did a double coat of the same on each side of the tags...one side at a time, giving them a day to dry.
I love how they turned out.
I am entering this necklace in the following Challenges:

ReplyDeleteI am a jewelry fan and an art fan, so you definitely hit it out of the park with this project! How clever and how seasonal! I love how the images are nostalgic and seem to tell a story. This is such a great idea for the holidays and I'm so glad you shared your talents with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
