Teacher Appreciation "Thank You For Helping Me Grow" Necklace Tutorial

Items you will need:

-Scissors

-Choice of Cardstock Pattern paper

-Modge Podge

-Dementional Magic Modge Podge

-Small charm of choice with flat back

-E6000, Sorry not shown in my pic. of Supplies

-Round Metal Pendant.  I bought mine at Joann Fabric's in the Jewelery section on clearance for $1.97.  It is just Silver with a pattern which as you can see is covered now.

-Jump ring

-Sponge Brush, again sorry not in pic.

-Chain of choice.  Bought mine from Michaels.

-Sharpie Fine Point Marker Pen

-First I chose a pattern in my cardstock collection. 

-Then I traced my round pendant on the cardstock.

-Before cutting circle out, I used my sharpie to write my saying all the way around the circle. "Thank you for helping me grow"

-Then I cut the circle out and put a layer of modge podge onto my pendant.

-I then put my circle of cardstock on the pendant and carefully rubbed my fingers accross and around the edges.

-Next I put another layer of modge podge over the cardstock.

-Once dry I carefully start in the middle with my Dementional glaze and work my way to the outside.

-Once this is completely dry, I used the E6000 to glue my charm in the middle.

-When completely dry, I added a Jump Ring and then put on chain and then you have your awesome Teacher's Gift!!!!
