Tweet Tweet! These Are Sweet

Hello there!

I don't know about you, but I'm itching for spring.

Today I have for you not one but two sweet little birdie pendants in lovely spring colors. 

This project has a short supply list and comes together pretty easily.

Want to make 'em?

Let's go!

Supplies:

Bird charms CA101

Rose Pearl Enamel Gel

Enamel Powders: Brownstone & Turquoise Lagoon

Enamel Adhesive Fluid

E600 Glue

Necklace Cords

Jump Rings

Heat gun, toothpick, big heavy book

Punch out two solid birds and one swirly bird. 

Separate the inside from the frame.

Coat the solid birdies with the Rose Pearl enamel gel.

I LOVE this color!

(I used a pretty thick coat, so they sat overnight to dry)

Use the Enamel Adhesive Fluid and powders to coat the other two bird pieces.

I REALLY heated them up to get a nice smooth finish.

Once your pink birdies are completely dry, use the toothpick to

put E600 glue onto the backs of the two swirly pieces.

Add one swirly piece to each pink piece, stick 'em under a heavy book for a few minutes,

and let dry (preferably overnight).

Add a jump ring and add to the necklace.

Aren't they pretty?! 

Time for a little Spring

I am so very excited to play with the new spring colors of enamel gels!

Aren't they pretty?

Today I have a pair of pretty little earrings for you. 

Want to make them?
YAY!

Let's do it!

What you need:

Teardrop Charms

Glastique in both Matte & Glossy

Enamel gels: Silver, Coral Pearl, Rose Pearl, Daffodil

Earring wires, jump rings

One side at a time, color each flower with enamel gel. 

Then color the frame with silver enamel gel. 

Allow to dry, flip over and repeat on the other side.

Once it's all dry, coat the flowers with matte Glastique

and the frame with glossy Glastique. 

Allow to dry thoroughly, flip over, and repeat.

Once the Glastique is completely dried, add a jump ring to each charm

and add them to the earring wires.

There ya go!

Challenge #117 Spring

Hello and happy Tuesday! I hope you've had the opportunity to experience some spring-y weather in your neck of the woods...it's been on and off in Michigan this past week, a nice day followed by a cold day that had us digging out our coats and sweaters that we had hoped to put away until later this year!  
It's mid-May, so if spring hasn't been to visit you yet, we'll do our best to help out with this week's challenge theme...
