Sunnyside Cookie Monster's Necklace

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.
