Christmas Stocking Buttons!



We LOVE our super cute and oh so fuzzy Christmas stocking buttons! Great to use in all kinds of ways! You can cut off the loop, paint the back with nail polish, then attach an earring bail and wire. Ta-da! Earrings!
Or, cut off the loop and add to a pendant tray. A word of caution, because they are covered in a felt like texture, they will soak up any ice resin or glaze if used in a pendant tray.
Let us know if any questions!

Breast Cancer Awareness Pendant


Just a reminder, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Early detection is the best prevention! This is a topic that hits very close to home for us. So, if we can do our part to spread the word, and spread the hope, we certainly want to do our part.
And, if you know a survivor, or someone battling to become one, a little token of hope never hurts....

Pearl Pendant with Ice Resin!

 



Steps to make pendant!
 Materials used: 1 inch square pendant tray, ice resin, 1.5 mm ball chain, crystals, freshwater pearl beads, mica flakes.
1. Starting with blank tray, add a thin layer of ice resin. While still wet, cover bottom of tray with mica flakes. Then add another thin layer of ice resin. Do not fill to top of tray.
2. Add in some ball chain. Position any way you like.
 3. Add in the pearls. We then let dry. Once dry, we added another thin layer of ice resin. From there, you can add the crystals. Do not cover them with the resin. The tray should be filled at this point. Let dry on flat surface.
 4. Add chain, and you are done!
