What you need:
Clear UTEE
Flex
Ranger Ink Essentials Memory Frame
Chipboard shape/costume jewellery pieces/small flowers...whatever you like really as long as it fits in your frame!
leather thong
What you do:
This is such a simple project that i haven't even bothered to give you step by step photos...i really don't think you need them.
First off, melt the clear UTEE in your Melt Pot with a tiny smidge of gold embossing powder {less really is more here and the gold powder is opaque and we want a beautiful translucent liquid}...while that is heating...lay your frame onto a non~stick craft mat and arrange your inclusions in the frame. In the sample above i've used a chipboard flower {from Bee Crafty} which i coloured with gold Brilliance ink. When the UTEE is liquid carefully pour it into the frame, over the flower and gently press half a press stud into the flower centre...leave it to cool...add a thong and some beads and you're done!! See...i told you it was easy!!! I''ve only popped a short length of thonging on this one as we both like the look of it hanging in the kitchen window.
As long as you are careful not to add too much UTEE {no going over the edges}...and because of the way the frames open and close...you can remover the cooled charm...and then do another one with all sorts of other things in the *amber*...i've used a chipboard letter with a fabric rose and some small flowers with some glass chips...but if you want to go for realism with your pendant maybe you could try a dead fly!! ;0)
My favourite of the pieces i tried was this one...with a rather yummy piece of broken jewellery in the middle and i've hung this one on a long thong to wear as a Winter necklace over a cowl neck jumper.
The jewellery piece was quite chunky so the gemstone *ahem* section sticks up above the *amber* and the whole thing feels rather sumptuous. :0)
And there you have it...a simple idea that can be used to create pendants to wear or for hanging in the window...even to hang on the Christmas tree would be lovely. I'm bursting to make a steampunk version of this too with clock parts and cogs...i think that would be fabulous!
Thanks for stopping by and i do hope you'll give this technique a go...
these are made quickly and simply by cutting the leather into freehand scallops {i did mine by eye but you could draw a template if you prefer the *perfect* look} making sure that one scallop overlaps and fits neatly on your wrist. to do the cuff up, you need to punch a hole in either end using both sizes on your Cropadile...one small, one large...the small one will take the Tim Holtz hitch fastener, and the larger one with fit snugly over the hitch fastener to allow you to put the cuff on...and take it off :0)
i'm still on my *use everything i've got already* stash diet, so i decided to use this beautiful dark leather that was originally a swatch from a well known furniture store...although it would have been possible to stamp on it...i decided to combine two elements of *use everything i've got already* and use up some of the millions of eyelets i have accumulated over the years...and some little fabric flowers that someone else gave me, from thier *use it or lose it pile* lol
