Today’s project is all about making the most of the odds and ends in your art room. Once I cleaned out all my extras, I realized that I could put them all together to make something functional! I posted a picture earlier and got a few emails about it, so I thought I’d share the crafty recipe for it!
I picked up some blank dog tags. I glued down scraps of paper on them and then a picture, and then painted on accents, added micro stars, and glitter. Yes, even in the tiny space of a dog tag, you can cram in all those elements! I covered each one in resin.
And then I took some mini-bottles, filled them with glitter, attached a chain, added word beads and charms and some old-fashioned key rings. Now that I look at the picture, I think it would have been cool to add a bit of yarn too!
As far as the glitter in the little bottle…just think – you will have (contained) sparkle with you where ever you go! I actually glued the lid down. That way I can tell people “In case of emergency, break bottle of glitter!”
Supplies:
Keyring
Decorated dog tag, or another large picture charm of some sort.
2″ of chain
mini-bottle filled with Crafty Chica™ Chunky Glitters™ (add a bit of glue inside the rim to hold it tight)
Eye pins
Beads
Needle nose pliers
Jump rings
Directions: Attach the dog tag. Attach the bottle to the chain, and add that to the keyring. Put the beads on the eye pin and use jump ring to attach!
I love this! Anything with glitter will do, but I can’t wait to try this 😀
