Meaningful Words Gift Ideas

Hi everybody! Kim here from My Kraft Kloset sharing a wonderful way to capture meaningful words that describe somebody special using these amazing antique silver pieces from Craft Fantastic.  With the holidays sneaking up on us, you maybe starting to think about special gifts you can make and these are very affordable. So, follow along as I show you a unique way to send a special message or express your feelings and capture them forever.

Let's get started...

1. Choosing from hundreds of Craft Fantastic images is always the hardest part. And usually you see my collage projects where I cut out 1-2 words, but for this project I chose to use a section of words already on the word collage sheet.

I made this necklace for my Aunt and these words were all very personal to me and very descriptive of her. But don't fret if it doesn't easily work out that way, you can certainly cut the words apart, group together, and glue onto another sheet and make a collage of something similar. 

2. I added a few drops of iridescent glitter glue to give it some sparkle. Allow time to dry so the glitter doesn't stick to your glass and obstruct your view of the words. Can you see the sparkles?

3. Once dry, add several drops of Glaze & Glue onto an XL Glass Round and place over the word image, and press gently for a few minutes until set. Wipe off any excess glue around the edges with a Q-tip. Allow a few minutes to dry.

4. Once dry, cut around the glass and cut out the word image. Next I chose a stunning XL antique silver tray to give it a classy timeless look.

I was going to add this small square image tray to this project too, which is why it's pictured here, but I changed my mind. Better to make too many choices than not enough. And I'll use it for another gift.

5. Adhere several Fantastic Super Sticky Dots to the tray, because you'll want to use more dots on the larger trays. Remove red sticky dot backings and place the glass word image in the tray. And press gently to set.

6. Repeat steps 3-5 above to create the letter "g" in this project, which reminds me of an old vintage typewriter text. Cool, right? Once dry, place glass letter image in this small, but very classy looking tray. And press gently to set.

7. Attach the silver angel wing charm with a small jump ring and pliers. And add all three pieces to a beautiful silver chain to complete.

These angel wings are one of my favorite charms. Aren't they beautiful? You've probably seen me use them on several of my projects. I just can't help it, they remind me of guardian angels watching over that special person. I just love them!

Voila! There you have an incredibly meaningful gift idea for that somebody special on your holiday gift giving list. I hope I've inspired you to use your words and spread kindness this Holiday Season and all year long!

Tropical Vacation Necklace

Hi everybody! Kim here from My Kraft Kloset sharing this beautiful tropical vacation necklace I made for a special friend who often travels to Hawaii. I used tropical patterned travel paper I found at a local scrapbooking store and these gorgeous antique brass products from Craft Fantastic.

  

Let’s get started: 

1.  Gather up all your supplies from these links:  

EXTRA LARGE ROUND PENDANT TRAY antique brass, XLARGE GLASS ROUNDS, 30" ROLO CHAIN antique brass, Fantastic Glaze & Glue, Fantastic Super Sticky Dots,  Q-tips, and Hawaiian patterned paper. 

2.  Choose your image. That's the hardest part. I found this Hawaiian patterned travel paper with these colorful hibiscus flowers to remind my friend of her travels and the gorgeous tropical landscape.  

3.  Next add several Fantastic Glaze & Glue droplets onto the back of an XL glass circle and place onto the flower images. Move your glass around to position your image, and add a little pressure to get any bubbles out. Hold in place for a couple minutes to set and let dry. 

4.  Once set, use a Q-tip to remove any excess glue around the edges of the glass. Cut around the glass and cut out the image.  Place 2-4 Fantastic Super Sticky Dots to the XL antique brass tray to secure it really good, peel off red backing, place glass into the tray, and press down to secure in place.  Add 30" antique brass chain for a nice draping effect. 

Voila! Another stunning handmade jewelry piece to remember those special vacation travels! Add a few charms and make it even more personalized to fit the occasion. I hope I’ve inspired you to try these wonderful Craft Fantastic products with your crafting supplies too, because the possibilities are truly endless!

Craft Fantastic Gifts for Mom's and Grandmother's

Hi everybody! Kim here from My Kraft Kloset sharing a personalized piece of jewelry I made using  Craft Fantastic products, my scrapbooking supplies, and another special collage technique I made for my kids Grandmother.  As Mother’s Day is fast approaching on May 14^th and you too have time to try this fantastic technique for all the special ladies in your life. 

Let’s get started: 

1.  Choose your images. I picked this colorful plaid patterned paper, two layered heart images, and the word “grandmother” (as shown above). To create this personalized collage.

 

2.  Cut out the word “grandmother” from the image sheet, add a few Craft Fantastic Glaze & Glue droplets onto the back and adhere it to a piece of plaid patterned paper. Press gently to lay flat and remove any excess glue with a Q-tip. Let dry for a minute.  

 3. Next I chose two images that had similar sized hearts from the Valentines image sheet. That's right, re-purposed images from other holidays. Cut one heart out completely and the second image I cut out in a square (as shown above).

4.  Add a few Craft Fantastic Glaze & Glue droplets onto the heart images and adhere together. Press gently to lay flat and remove any excess glue with a Q-tip. Let dry for a minute.  Add some sparkly diamond glitter glue to parts of the flowers. Let dry for a few minutes. 

 

5.  Add several Craft Fantastic Glaze & Glue droplets onto the back of an extra large glass circle and glue together. Move your glass around to position your image, add a little pressure to get any bubbles out, and make sure the surface is completely covered. Hold in place for a couple minutes to set in place. Let dry for a few minutes.

6.  Once dry, use a Q-tip to remove any excess glue around the edges of the glass. Cut around the edges of the glass and cut out the image. 

7.  Next I chose this stunning extra large silver tray pendant for my image to sit in. Added five Fantastic Jewelers Dots to hold the extra large glass in place, peel off red backing, place the glass into the tray, and press down all over to secure in place. Add a neck chain to complete your gift and voila! Another stunning collage piece that is super special for our Grandmother’s, Mom’s, and any special lady for Mother’s Day on Sunday, May 14th. And you can too! This took less than an hour to put together, once I decided on the images and layout.  

I hope I’ve inspired you to try these wonderful Craft Fantastic products along with your paper crafting supplies. Because the possibilities are truly endless!  So think about giving this hobby a try and make a gift that is uniquely handmade for any occasion. Happy Mother's Day everybody and hug those special ladies! Please leave us a comment and let us know what you think, we’d love to hear from you.Thanks for stopping by!
