Making a Necklace Pendant with Etchall

I used etchall creme to etch these glass marbles for necklaces. I etched the backs of the marbles to create a filtered look for the colors. I knew the glass would magnify the image and I didn’t want a clear detail but rather a blended look.

First I cleaned the glass marbles with rubbing alcohol, then I applied the etchall creme to the backs of the glass marbles and let it sit for 15 minutes. When the time was up, I washed the marbles.

Here you can see the difference. The left marble is etched and the right marble is not.

The left two marbles have Lindy’s Magicals applied while the right marble has alcohol ink.

Once the color applications dried, I sprayed them with a sealer and then I added white paint to the back. Even with a sealer coating, the Magicals interacted with the white paint.

The results on the front of the glass marbles are seen in the image above. I like how the white paint shows through the two using the Magicals.

I created simple wire bails that are glued to the backs of the glass marbles.

Using faux leather, I cut it to cover the back and bail of each marble.

Here is the red version finished and hanging from a simple black cord necklace. It resembles a gemstone. The etchall creme helped to create visual depth and blending of the colors that were applied. Just moments after finishing, my daughter claimed this one for herself. Which version is your favorite?

How to Make Earrings with Buttons

with Buttons Galore and More

Buttons Galore and More sent me Smiley Buttons to make jewelry. The first piece I made was a bracelet. I had set aside these green buttons for a pair of earrings requested by my daughter. I added striped beads that matched the buttons to add to the length of the earrings. Silver spacer beads I used in the bracelet were also used as spacers for the earrings.

See the video below to learn how I punched out small circular faux leather for the back of the earrings.

The bracelet and earrings work well as a set or as individual pieces. Let me know which you like better in the comments below.

Shrink Film Earrings

I enjoy making earrings. Often when I get an art supply I think about how I can make jewelry with it and that is the case when I got a set of beautiful stamps from BeebeeCraft, GLOBLELAND Flowers, and Leaves Background Silicone Clear Stamps.

After stamping the shrink film with Stazon ink and trimming them down to the stamped image, I turned them over and applied alcohol ink with a cosmetic sponge.

Before shrinking, I used a paper punch to punch holes for hanging, and then I used a heat gun to shrink the film. To finish off the shrink film pieces, I coated each side with a single layer of UV Resin.

I used Benecreat wire and Mixed Green Round Glass Seed Beads from BeebeeCraft to finish the earrings.

Quick and Easy Earrings

Making earrings from charms is so easy. These beautiful butterfly wings came in a set of four pairs from Hobby Lobby. I was able to make four pairs of earrings for less than $10, making these a very affordable gift. Charms and buttons make for quick and easy earrings.

Using two jewelry pliers, charms, and matching ear wires I was able to make four pairs of earrings in no time at all.

These were such a huge hit in my house, I have to go and buy a few more sets of charms so we don’t fight over the colors!

Square Resin Earrings

Learn how quick and easy it is to make resin earrings with You-V jewelry gel resin.

with You-V Resin

These resin earrings are rather quick and very easy to make. I used You-V resin because of its quick drying time and safety features. Using a mold and a few inclusions and I have a new pair of earrings that work with a variety of different outfits.

I used blue jewelry gel resin from You-V, an earring mold, a UV flashlight, and some glitter inclusions.

The resin and inclusions are in the mold. Blue jewelry gel resin is transparent and very light in color. In this image, you can see the randomness and similarities of the inclusions.

All the curing steps were done with a UV flashlight. The gel can be cured with a UV nail lamp as well. Because the resin cures quickly, it was easy to hold a flashlight for the time needed. A UV nail light will also work.

Once the resin pieces were taken out of the mold and cleaned up, they were ready for the jewelry findings. I actually needed 2 more small jump rings that aren’t seen in this photo.

To see all the process steps and tips watch the complete video tutorial below.

Video Tutorial:

Not all UV resin works the same way. You-V is rather special in that it cures quickly (30 seconds to a minute) and is SGS certified with solvent-free composition. Under regular handling, it has a low risk of skin irritation making it safe to use without protection as well as safe for kids to use.

Wrinkled Sublimation Necklace

with Artesprix

This wrinkle technique creates great results. I first tried it with regular stamp pads and was inspired by not wanting to throw away my used protective paper from sublimation. You can read about that here. [wrinkle technique] Immediately after doing so, I thought why not use the new sublimation ink pads from Artesprix for this technique? So here it is applied to a

Curling Ribbon Earrings

Learn how to make earrings using curling ribbon.

with Gwen Studios

This month the Gwen Studios design team is working with curling ribbon. Curling ribbons can be used in a variety of different ways. Quilling paper is very similar to curling ribbon so I thought it would work in a similar way. I chose to roll the ribbons into disks and make earrings.

Curling Ribbon comes in a variety of different colors. Gwen Studios curling ribbon can be found at Walmart.

I would like to thank Gwen Studios for providing me with the ribbon to work with. Designer Crafts Connection will share links to all the projects made for this month’s nautical theme design team projects.

The photo above shows the difference in size between the curling ribbon on the left and the quilling paper on the right. The ribbon is just about twice the width but comes in a really long length that you can cut to your desired size.

Using a battery-operated quilling tool, made the rolling of the ribbon quick and easy. The ribbon naturally curls in one direction, following that direction makes the rolling of the ribbon a bit easier to work with. Use tacky glue to add different colors to the rolling.

To secure the ribbon, I added a piece of cardstock onto the back of the curled ribbon in a coordinating color. To see the entire process, watch the video tutorial below:

Video Tutorial:

I made two different pairs of earrings using the same curling technique. The blue pair are stud earrings while the pink version is made using ear wires.
