I made a necklace for each of my team of Girl Scout Troop Cookie Managers. There are about 20+, so I needed something quick, inexpensive and CUTE. I am so happy with how these necklaces turned out. A shout out to I Heart Nap Time for the idea!
This necklace was quick to make with a dime, a printed graphic, cut to a size just a little larger than the dimes, some E-6000, Diamond Glaze, a glue-on bail and a ball-chain (1.49 at Ben Franklin!) and a "grinder" file for sanding, which I forgot to put in the picture. Instead of Diamond Glaze you could use Mod Podge's Dimensional Magic for this project.
1. Spread a thin layer of E-6000 on both the dime and the paper. Allow to dry overnight. 2. Use a "grinder" nail file to sand off the paper overlap.
3. Apply Diamond Glaze, a layer a time - let it dry between each layer - until the dome/height is pleasing to you. It's cloudy looking at first, but becomes crystal clear after it is dry.
4. Next, glue the bail on the back with some more E-6000 and allow to dry.
5. Attach the chain.
Ta-da! you now have a sweet necklace.
Bonus! You can add glitter, embellishments, etc while Diamond Glaze is still wet.
