Here's a mini project to follow on the charm bracelet of last week, featuring Stella McCartney-ish botanical prints and new Mod Podge products from Plaid.
Last week I tried the new Dimensional Magic with mixed results specifically because I did not mix the results (did not shake the bottle to distribute the glitter.)
Dimensional Magic comes in a tiny squeeze bottle and gives a smooth epoxy-like finish to your otherwise dull paper and plastic creations.
I used one of the Podgeable Shapes (plastic shapes cut into small circles, squares, ovals, etc.), Mod Podged a small botanical print on one side, allowed it to dry and then coated the top with Dimensional Magic.
Here's how it looks when wet. It dries clear or with a bit of glitter depending on your formula.
I glued a 25-cent ring blank onto the back using Plaid's new jewelry glue.
And, ta da, super easy ring. Still not crazy about the glitter for this type of project but it wasn't as offensive as I thought.
Now to the giveaway. I'm passing on about $60 worth of Mod Podge loot - antique and gloss formula, pearl spray finish, rub-on transfers, Dimensional Magic, crackle medium and a Mod Podge sampler of six formulas.
To enter, just be a follower and leave a comment below. (Sorry, U.S.-only on this one. The stuff is HEAVY.)
I think I'm the first comment! I LOVE Mod Podge. Cool giveaway. And by the way I love the ring. I haven't seen the podgeable shapes before - I can see lots of possibilities.
ReplyDeleteThe ring turned out pretty fab! I might have a use for that box of stamps I've been wondering what to do with...or a bracelet- I liked that idea too. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteOooh Oooh pick me! I'm desperate for a new piece of fun jewelry and it would be special to be able to say I made it!

ReplyDeleteLoving both the ring and the charm bracelet! Now I'm looking at old gardening catalogs and thinking of the possibilities...

I would like to use this to make some magnets for my fridge and maybe some botanical jewelry

I am a crafty newbie and an excited one at that! I just finished making a lamp out of books along with bring crooked, it was missing something. through my pinterest surfing I found this stuff, not sure of you know about it, Mod Podge? Lol, but yea it definitely would have taken my lamp to the next level. the antiquing is really interesting to me. But cool tut, how to great from you. The baby is to tear my house down.

ReplyDeleteI'm probably late for the give away but had to say I love that ring!! Many years ago my Aunt, who lived In Fort Walton beach Florida, made rings that looked just like yours. She had given me one but I lost it.:( Also 20 years ago when I was living in New York, involved with the ministry Teen Challenge, there was a box of items that were giveaways and I found this beautiful pin that had a moose painted on it and somehow I lost it too. I have been looking for items like what you have made here for a long time, who knew it could be so easy to make one myself!!
ReplyDeleteLove the ring, looks totally finished and professional. Would love to try it.
