Special Graduation Gifts

Hi everybody! Kim here from My Kraft Kloset sharing some super fun graduation gifts that have a personalized touch using Craft Fantastic products and special photos you can print from home. Just perfect for those upcoming Graduations.

Let's get started in 5 easy steps:

1. Choose from hundreds of Craft Fantastic images. Or print your own photos or internet images on regular copy paper, like I did today for these graduation gifts. More printing tips "here."

2. Add a few drops of Fantastic Glaze & Glue on the back of MEDIUM GLASS ROUNDS and press gently for a few minutes until set. Wipe off any excess glue around the edges with a Q-tip.

3. Once dry, cut around the glass and cut out the image. Copy paper is thin so you may want to add some Fantastic Glaze & Glue on the back of the glass image to make it stronger and seal your printed images. Allow to dry. Tips on Printing photos and images at home on copy paper "here"

4. Adhere a Fantastic Super Sticky Dot. Add more dots if your tray is larger. Remove red sticky dot backing and place glass image into a tray.

5. Just add a Chain, Key Ring, or Charms with jump rings to complete.

Whether your child is graduating kindergarten, middle school, high school or college, these are so fun, unique, and affordable to commemorate those special achievements. Search and print a bunch of images in your graduates school colors or school emblem for a special gift for your child, their close friends, the parents, and grandparents too! So fun for everybody!

This personalized key ring has wing charms for your graduate to fly into their future. Commemorate college acceptance schools with this special double sided tray. So fun to choose multiple images or emblems like these graduation messages and like my hubbys ol' college Alma mater "AU" shown below. (images found on the internet)

Add a chain and turn this double sided tray into a special pendant for your grad or alumni friends and family. They will cherish these and wear them proudly, especially on game days!  I would.  Wouldn't you?

 Here are some more fun charms to personalize your grads double sided key chain with a more masculine flair. (image found on the internet)

Voila! There you have several unique gifts for those special kids on your upcoming graduation list. Or surprise your family and friends and make a few extras of their favorite schools/teams. They will love them! Mine below is a dog tag type tray for "UM" football and I wear it proudly, even though I'm surrounded by the Crimson Tide or AU Tigers, but it's all fun and games. Ha! #GOBLUE (image found on the internet)

Rock Paper Scissors Projects

Hi everybody! Kim here from My Kraft Kloset sharing these beautiful silver scissor charm projects that are sure to please any crafter with these stunning products from Craft Fantastic. They are a wonderful mix of vintage and modern that would make great gifts for any special occasion you wanted to personalize with monograms from paper images, charms, faux leather and more. 

If you were lucky enough to get February's Kit-of-the-Month, congratulations, because that kit included a few of the pieces I used for these projects.  But don't fret if you didn't, click on these links to get all the supplies you need to make the projects above and several more: Silver Scissors Charms, V Connector, Small Jump Rings, Pinch Bails, Glaze & Glue, Faux Leather Necklaces, Key Ring, Large Jump Rings, and a Swirl Toggle.

To create the "rock" part of our project, I added just 1-2 drops of Glaze & Glue into the center of the scissors where there is a small open circle and placed a small sparkly blue gemstone (purchased at a local craft store), into the glue to secure it in place. Attach the scissors to a special key ring or add it to a 3-ring or spiral planner and personalize it with monograms for a lovely planner chain or bookmark. As shown above.

For my next project (shown above) I created a vintage necklace with a pink gemstone adhered with Glaze & Glue, attached a V Connector with small jump rings, added a pinch bail and slipped the pendant through a black faux necklace. And it's so simple, yet stunning. Don't you think? It's one of my favorite pieces, but I say that about all of them. (lol)

Here is another look at our stunning "scissors" on black faux leather for a vintage look and pink faux leather for a more modern look to mix and match your outfits. 

Voila! There you have several unique necklaces, planner chains, or key chains for special gifts or keep a few for yourself with just a few supplies.  The possibilities are truly endless! Thanks for stopping by!
