Jewelry is always fun to make!  Check out these peace pendants that you can paint in your favorite colors.

I got these pendants from an online auction site.  Paint both sides in desired Folk Art colors.  You don't have to leave them solid--streaks, dots and swirls would be fun too!

Once the pendants are dry, you can sand and distress the edges with sandpaper or a Mod Podge file.

Leave the peace signs distressed or seal with Folk Art Extreme Glitters.  Gems (or your favorite embellishments) can be added with Mod Podge. 

Twist a large jump ring open and attach to a silicone cord like this.  Ready to wear!

T.G.I.F. It’s Friday! It’s Friday! The week is finally over and the weekend is here. You now have two whole days to craft something new and amazing. Have anything in mind? If not, no worries we have been scouring the internet to give you some inspiration. Today we would like to share this springtime mason jar photo holder project. We discovered it on the blog, Spool and Spoon. This project was created using one of today’s most popular surfaces, Mason Jars, and Martha Stewart liquid glass fill paint and clings. We love how Jess designed this project. It is a great way to display pictures of your little ones. To see how Jess made this project visit here blog here.
