Personalized Holiday Gift Ideas

Hi everybody! Kim here from My Kraft Kloset sharing a special monogrammed pendant I created using a clear alphabet stamp set and Craft Fantastic products for a personalized touch. See how easy it is to make a bunch of these in a flash for everyone on your list this holiday season. 

Let's get started...

Using an alcohol marker friendly ink, stamp your alphabet letter on thin white cardstock made for alcohol markers, so it won't bleed or peel apart. Color away using your favorite alcohol markers. And I allowed it to dry thoroughly overnight, so the color wouldn't bleed out of the edges. 

Tip: Using alcohol markers instead of water color markers, allows the color to set permanently, so the image won't bleed when you add the liquid Glaze & Glue over the top. 

Take an XL glass square, add several drops of Glaze & Glue and place over the stamped alphabet letter. Press gently and hold for a couple minutes until set. Wipe away any excess glue around the edges with a q-tip. Allow to dry for a few minutes. 

I chose this stunning XL antique silver tray for this project, but it does require several Super Sticky Dots for a secure hold with larger pieces. Remove red backing and place the alphabet glass image into the tray and press gently all over to set the corners and center for a secure fit. 

Added a couple of my favorite charms for a dash of good luck and a sparkle of holiday charm, that I attached with small jump rings and a pair of pliers. And added a stunning silver chain to complete this wonderful holiday gift. 

Voila! There you have a uniquely personalized holiday pendant that is sure to please anyone on your holiday gift giving list this season. I hope I've inspired you to play with your stamps and use them in your jewelry projects too! And be sure to check out our other charms and images to see what else you can make!

Spooktacular Halloween Accessories

Hi everybody! Kim here from My Kraft Kloset sharing some spooktacular jewelry that you can make yourself to accessorize for Halloween or any day with these amazing antique brass pieces from Craft Fantastic. I LOVE this time of year! So, follow along as I show you a couple of fun pieces you can make for yourself or grab an affordable kit and make some for your friends and family too!

Let's get started...

For this project I chose this darling black cat from this Halloween image sheet.

Add a few drops of Glaze & Glue onto a mini glass square, place over the 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.

Once dry, cut around the glass and cut out the image. Next I chose this mini antique brass square tray to fit nicely on the bangle and to give it a vintage look.

Adhere a Fantastic Super Sticky Dot to the tray, remove red sticky dot backing and place the glass image in the tray. And press gently to set.

Next I chose a tiny clear round glass bling, but I wanted it orange for Halloween or Fall. So, I colored it with an orange alcohol marker. Set a side to dry.

I picked out this tiny antique brass round tray, because it has two loops on each end. One to attach a jump ring and the other to attach a charm to dangle. 

Once the orange glass bling is dry, adhere a Fantastic Super Sticky Dot to the tray, remove red backing, and place in the tray. Press gently to set.

Pick out some of your favorite charms and attach small jump rings to all of them and the trays with pliers. 

And now the fun...Assembling!!!

Just screw off the ball on the end of this antique brass bangle bracelet and slip on all the pieces and screw the ball back on to complete for Halloween or maybe Day of the Dead (Día De Los Muertos).  Pretty, right???

Change and personalize your bangle anytime with the season, holiday, occasion,  or your mood with a switch of a new charms or maybe make new trays!

Or add this spooky tray to a faux leather necklace and be stylish for Howloween!

Voila! There you have some spooktacular jewelry pieces to accessorize for the season or any day! I hope I've inspired you to check out our images and charms and see what you can make!
