Craft Fantastic Blog: sentiment

Hello everyone!! Kymona from Kreative Kymona here today to share with you how to create sentiment necklaces using pattern paper.

How many of us have tons of pattern paper sitting around our house doing nothing with? Let me see those hands!! I have both of my hands up because I have two boxes of pattern paper that I haven't done anything with since I bought them. Why am I hoarding them? I bought them to use them so I decided today would be that day!!

Let me show you what I mean:

Aren't these statement means just amazing!! Well I used patten paper from a collection I bought last year called Warm & Cozy by Jen Hadfield. Yes, last year and I never even open it until today.

Silly Me!!!

Let's take a look:

I absoutley love how these necklaces turn out!! They say so much in such a simple way!!

Creating them was so easy, I could make a ton more!!

Here's how I created them:

Decide on which tray you want to use. I used the Extra Large Round Pendant Antique Brass Tray with the XLarge Glass Rounds and the Puffy Square Pendant Silver Kit.
Then decided on the sentiments you want to use from the pattern paper you have in your stash. I went with warm sentiments since the fall is approach and we all need a little bit more coziness.
I added Fantastic Glaze and Glue to the glasses and placed them on top of the cut out sentiments.
Let that set for a couple of seconds.
Press down to make sure the glue doesn't have bubbles and is pretty sturdy on the paper.
Using a q-tip clean the excess glue from around the glass then cut the excess paper away.
Place two Fantastic Super Sticky Dots in the extra large trays and one in the square trays.
Remove the backing and place the glasses in each tray.
Choose the neckwear, I used the 24" Ball Silver Chain and the 24" Ball Antique Brass Chain for these pieces.
