My first attempt at Jewelry Making

So I have been mod podging A LOT lately.  I have been making an art journal and mod podging everything I put into it.  I never knew there were so many different kinds of mod podge!  I went to the store and picked up some modge podge dimensional magic as I have had these two jewelry pendants for over a year and I knew this would be the perfect time to make something out of them!

This first one is a photo of my kids that I wanted to put in here.  It came out just okay as I probably should have waited for it to dry more.  The colors ran a little but it's really hard to see on it, it just gives the photo a nice pink tinge:-)

Here is the second one, I love it. I just took a simple piece of paper, cut where this flower was on the paper to make it fit the frame, glued it down with modge podge, stamped a J for my name, and added little rhinestone. On both of these I just added the dimensional mod podge on top to give it that clear dimensional look over it. 

Both of these were super easy to make!  Now I am looking into getting more pendants and crystals so I can make some for gifts:-)

  1. That is super cool! I wondered, does the modge podge three dimensional dry pretty hard. I have been using Glossy Effects by Ranger for my jewelry as I am not going to do acrylic resin, too smelly, too expensive, and time consuming! The GE can yellow as well as still seem "soft" even after a long drying period. I have heard that it is helpful to spray a glossy or matte varnish for paper over these and then add the liquid protector. I am trying that, hoping it will stop the yellowing and running.
