I created a mixed media necklace to share with you today. Mixed media to me means having fun. It’s more about the journey, and not so much about the results.
I like to incorporate elements that have meaning to me, or to the person I’m creating for. I love butterflies. They are all about change.
Supplies for creating a mixed media necklace
Note – this is what I used – use what YOU love. But of course, include some fun buttons! You don’t need everything on this list – you could play with paint, beads, remake an old necklace… The sky is the limit. Enjoy the journey!
- buttons – Shop by color at Buttons Galore
- chain and jump rings (Fire Mountain Gems)
- shrinky dinks
- napkin
- dies (Spellbinders)
- craft metal (Ten Seconds Studio)
- glitter and liquid adhesive (Art Glitter)
- copic markers and an ABS (air brushing system)
Here’s a fun little video showing some close ups and tips.
Thanks for joining me today. Please share something you make with buttons, I’d LOVE to see it.
You can find me at My Card Party.
