I love to create for Valentine's day. I have a fun necklace for you today and it was really easy to make.
Start with your birdcage chipboard. I used the 3 inch version for this project, but it is available in two additional sizes.
I embossed both sides of the top piece.
The heart is a die cut piece of paper that I wet and crumpled into a ball. I flattened it, dried it with my heat tool, and then sanded it to highlight the wrinkles.
The wings are painted with a couple light coats of acrylic paint and then grunged up with a brown ink and some bronze paint.
The back of the birdcage that the heart will be on is embossed in a slightly different color than the front and it doesn't have full coverage. I wanted some of the chipboard to peep through. The back of the piece is embossed in the same color as the top piece of the cage.
The wings are attached to the heart using foam tape. I used foam tape and a strong adhesive to attach the heart to the back of the cage.
A large jump ring holds the two pieces of the cage together. The cage pieces are not attached in any other way. I want the cage to swing open when I wear this piece.
I hope you like it and maybe make one for yourself!
This is fabulous!
