Hello!
I'm Linsey and I'm absolutely thrilled to be the Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts guest
designer for July! Each Wednesday this month I'll have the pleasure
of sharing a lovingly made project with you and today, these DIY necklaces
are up. I enjoyed making this fun fashion jewelry so much, it was hard to stop!
I wanted to try a few different designs and used a combination of GSL chipboard
pieces and wooden charms to accomplish this.
First
up, my framed diamond charm which I altered with some gears and a set of
wings from the Steampunk Shape Set. I used a combination of DecoArt
Metallic Lustre paint in Black Shimmer (which appears more pewter
than black--I like it), Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Vintage Pink and
Glimmer Glam Glitter Paint in Tail Fin. For
more sparkle, I added a line of bling around the diamond frame. I also
added rub-on words "rise-shine-fly" to the wings and looped a bit of
pink cord and bling cord through the top of the charm hole.
Next
up, my Small Wooden Dome Charm necklace. I loved the rich
wooden tone this dome piece came as, so I simply heat embossed the frame with a
coat of clear hologram embossing powder, then added bits of gold mica flakes to
the inner part. I then laid down the words "be true" and
added a tiny key inside the center of the little dome.
Finally,
a couple of pieces made with the Large Wooden Circle Charm, Word Elements 1 and the Small Wooden Circle Charm. On the large circle, I
first covered the wooden base with more hologram embossing powder and heat set,
then heat embossed the word element "believe" in copper, and glued
that on top of the base, which is a perfect fit. The small circle is done with
the same hologram embossing powder and a clear bubble epoxy sticker from
Amy Tangerine glued to the center. These are not only great to make
into unique and cool jewelry, but also for making key chains, planner charms
and so much more! Your imagination is truly the limit!
Thanks
so much for visiting and allowing me to share my project with you today!
I hope you have enjoyed this easy diy jewelry and are inspired to make
some of your own!
Gorgeous pieces!!
