Foil-Embellished Pendant

These Start-Ups from Buttons Galore & More are the perfect itty bitty blank canvas for making a great big statement.  Whether an accent for a larger project or a stand-alone piece, these nifty little shapes are great for embellishing.

For my Start-Ups Challenge project, I chose the Large Tags because I thought they would make a fantastic pendant.  The holes are pre-drilled so attaching a chain or ribbon is simple.

What I really like about the Start-Ups is that they can be made either complex or streamlined, depending on the project.  I chose a lettuce green alcohol ink to color the tag shape, applied with a small scrap of felt.

I then cut a swirl shape from a set of double-sided adhesive designs (Design Adhesives by Clearsnap) and applied one side to the bottom corner of the tag.

A small piece of thin pink foil (also by Clearsnap) was pressed into the adhesive design and 3 turquoise crystals were glued to the upper right corner.  If desired, a clear varnish can be applied before gluing the crystals in place.

I added a 9mm silver jump ring through the pre-drilled hole, and attached my pendant to a chain I had in my stash.  I love that I can have custom jewelry in less than an hour!

Thanks for stopping by!

    The projects are all so cute! Since Halloween is so close I’ll have to vote for the Halloween project by Elise. Thank you for the inspiration, and the chance to win. :)

    Hello, I love the stamp projects however have no idea how to start or what tools, glue, type of paint or ink I need. What would be the best way to get started?
