IN MEMORY OF SANDY HOOK ELEMNTARY!



"Team" Earring Tutorial

Supplies:  See Pics below supplies.  Most of it is pictured.

1. Scrabble Pieces.  You can purchase at Michaels.

2.  Images of your choice.  I bought mine off of Etsy under scrabble images.

3.  Small Jewelery rings.

4. Earring Hooks.  Again from Michaels.

5.  Paint color of choice

6.  Modge Podge

7.  Dementional Modge Podge

8.  Drill

9.  Also not sure what it is called but used the wire bead filler.  That is the thing in the picture that looks like a needle with the circle at the end.  LOL!  In the jewelery dept. at Joann fabric.

How To Make:

1.  Drill hole in top center of 2 scrabble pieces.

2.  Use your scrabble piece to trace around the image you are using or use the scrabble size image if already sized. (CUT OUT)

3.  Paint your scrabble pieces to match the image you chose.  Front back and sides.

4.  Once paint dry, now Modge Podge your image on the side with the letter of scrabble piece.

5.  Once Modge Podge is dry then you will use your dementional Modge Podge and put a layer on your image.

6.  Once Dementional Modge Podge is completely dry now take a pin and poke from the back to make sure you do not seal the hole.

7.  Now Dementional Modge Podge the backside.  Let Dry Complete.

8.  Now once all dry you can take the thing I call a bead filler and put halfway through hole of scrabble piece and bring both sides up and twist.  Cut accessive wire off, but you will be using the round end to put the ring through which will also have the hood earring.  Or you can just use a ring to up through the scrabble hole.  What ever is easier for you.  Sorry I cannot remember what those are called.  If you are reading this and know, please feel free to comment!  LOL!

And now you are all finished and have some really cute earrings!!!!

Thanks for visiting my blog and hope you enjoyed this tutorial!

D.I.Y Decorated Team Wine Glass Tutorial!

Tools Needed:

1. Wine Glass or Martini Glass.. You can get nice one's at the Dollar Store.

2.  Sharpie Paint Pens... Your color choice depending on what team you are doing.

3.  Oven

 

How to:

1.  Wash and Clean your glass very good before applying paint.

2.  I covered the bottom of the glass with my White Paint Pen and then used my Red Paint Pen to add the seams like a Baseball.

3.  The Stem you just scribble with the Paint Pen colors because it kind of looks 3D so you really cannot make any mistakes when painting stem...

4.  Next Decide what Team Logo you are going to do.  I practiced with a Pen on paper first before I applied the Paint pen to my glass.  But do not worry, if you do make a error on the glass you can wipe off as soon as possible before drys perminent.

5.  Once complete, I would let glass sit for 24 hours to completely Dry.

6.  Next do not preheat, but just put glass on cookie sheet standing up at 250 degrees for 30 minutes...  Then take out and cool....

7.  Glasses should be hand washed only!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I am making these this year for X-Mas Gifts!!!!  You can obviously put any design your heart desires on them!!!!!  I just have a lot of Wine drinking St. Louis Card Fans!!!  LOL!!
