Blue Jeans Ring!!!

-
I love making jewelry, I love creating with different products, I guess I have a creative addiction for which there is no cure! I love to wear jewelry and even more when I know is something I made, because I know I will not run into anyone, anywhere wearing the same thing I have.  I discovered duct tape for crafting over a year ago, ever since I have been using it for many things. From wallets to flowers, to using it to make a holiday card instead of using paper, also to make rings, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings.  Today I want to share the latest ring I've created -

I love how this ring looks on!!!  The smaller the flower the harder it  is to make, but I enjoy the challenge, specially when  it comes out the way I want it.

I used Mod Podge Dimensional Magic to adhere the ring to the ring base -  testing to see how good it holds - but might end up using hot glue just to make sure it stays on ( I already know the hot glue works great)

Now here is a top view of the ring - you can see all the layers - I'm loving this ring - time to make lots more to sell and to keep some for me of course!!!  I was going to paint on the  white edge but to me it looks like them old worn jeans that are so comfy to wear!



Materials used:
The Duck Brand duct tape - Blue Jeans Denim color tape
Mod Podge Dimensional Magic (as glue)
Three iridescent crystal beads (two sizes)
Plaids ring blank in silver
Westcott's non-stick titanium scissors

Duct tape is no longer just for handy repairs, now you can wear it too!!!! My dad was right when he said years ago, the there was nothing you couldn't do with his favorite silver duct tape!!! He got a kick out of watching me make flowers with duct Duck tape.

Lots more duct duck tape jewelry to come -

Thanks to a post a friend shared on Face Book, I took a string of lights that sparked on me when I was trying to use them outside, so I took off all the bulbs and the spare ones too and decided to turn them into ornaments, I thought about making jewelry too but the ornament idea won.  All I did was paint them over using Viva Decor's precious metal paints in gold and silver, to most of the bulbs. As you can see on the photos below, l used Viva Decor's precious metal paints in gold and silver to paint the most of the orange light bulbs, to some I just added some glitter by using Viva's glitter liner pens in copper, gold and fuchsia colors.  I did use some distress glitter in red and green from Ranger.    Once dried, I added wire hangers to all the light bulbs, added some gold snowflake wired garland to the neck of the bulbs and I did go over all the bulbs with more glitter and paints to add designs and patterns adding interest and dimension.

I joined a handmade holiday ornament swap! we are supposed to make two ornaments - one to swap and one to donate to the Charity Wings auction tree. Once we signed up for this swap we were assigned a partner, my partner asked I sent her both ornaments since she volunteers at Charity Wings.  I made three ornaments, one was glass, so just in case something went wrong there will still be two ornaments left, one for my partner and one for Charity Wings. All the ornaments sent to Charity Wings will  decorate a tree to be displayed in the Art Center for a week or two, afterwards in early December they will auction off the whole tree to raise funds for all their worthy causes! Here are the ornaments I made:   a glass ornament covered with polymer clay in different colors and added some glitter by using Viva Decor glitter liners  This ornament is made of  SCULPEY® ULTRALIGHT™ , added a template to the clay by using  TRANSLUCENT LIQUID   SCULPEY .   I used several Viva

Welcome to another great Festive Friday Hop, our host is Terri Sproul - make sure to start by visiting Terri’s blog      http://www.terrisproul.blogspot.com This Hop takes place every 2nd and 4th Friday of the month (except for December) – it’s a way to make our Christmas Cards early and come December we’ll be ready to share with all our friends and family. This is my card for this week.   My last card I used rub-ons, this time I decided to go with stamps.  I got some new paints at CHA last week and decided to give them a try along with a couple of markers.  let me know what you think.  Now my camera works, but my cable doesn't so I had to use my son's camera and well the photos are not very good, but if I can borrow a camera at work later on, I will try and replace them, for now I hope these photos are clear enough.  I really liked this card, and I think I'm going to try stamping a little bit more in the future.  Well thank you for stopping
