Difficulty:

Category: Jewelry

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Cute, Casual, Whimsical, Holiday

Materials

Oval glass bubble, holiday scrapbooking paper, Alene's Paper Glaze, Glue on bail, E6000 Glue, Oval Copper blank, Embossing machine & snowflake embossing folder, light green acrylic paint, clear sealer, 4mm Swarovski crystal bicones in white and opal, Red rubber coated round beads, Multi-strand gray/silver necklace.

What was your inspiration?

I found some really cute penguin paper which inspired the penguin pendant, and I tried a new embossing folder on the Copper blank.

What are you most proud of?

I combine several different colors of acrylic paint on the snowflake oval to give it texture and give it a wintry feel. I ended up knotting one cord of the multi-strand necklace to space out the rubber coated beads just a little -without the knots, they were falling and crowding the pendants.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Combining 2 smaller pendants gives your piece a different look.
