{Artsy VaVa} Pumpkin Pendants

Today, we get to meet another one of my contributors!  Virginia from Artsy VaVa is here to share a super cute tutorial on how to make your own Fall or Halloween-inspired pendants!  So, here’s Virginia…

______________________________________________________
It’s October!
And, with that,  it feels as though Fall has officially begun.  The air is a little cooler, leaves are becoming a little more colorful, and pumpkins are popping up everywhere.
Add a little touch of Autumn to your wardrobe with these adorable pumpkin pendants.

 

Supplies:
Dominoes
Alcohol Inks
Alcohol Blending Solution
Alcohol Ink Applicator With Felt
3D Pumpkins: We found ours in the scrapbook section.
Paper Banner: Also found in the scrapbook section.
Glue
Glossy Accents
Jewelry Bails
Add a few drops of alcohol ink to the felt applicator.
 Add a drop or two of the blending solution.
Start dabbing the ink onto the domino.
For our first pendant we used orange alcohol ink.

 Don’t forget the sides of the Domino.

Once the ink is dry, glue on a pumpkin.

Cover the domino and pumpkin with Glossy Accents.
This will go on cloudy but will dry clear.
Use a toothpick or pin to pop any bubbles.

Once the Glossy Essentials is dry,
glue a jewelry bail onto the back of the Domino using E6000.

Adorable!

For the second pendant,
dab on orange and green alcohol ink to the Domino.

 

Allow to dry and glue the paper banner onto the Domino.
The strings of the banner made it too long,
so they were cut to the appropriate length.

 

Add a pumpkin and cover with Glossy Accents.

 

Once dry, add a bail to the back.

 

This would be a great project to do with kids.
These also make great magnets.
Just glue a magnet onto the back instead of the bail.

 

What is your favorite thing about Fall?______________________________________________________

Those are pretty darn cute!  My kids would love those.  I love the little spider.  Creepy, but not gross.  and the banner on the other one… ahh, too cute.  I would never have thought of that.  Thanks, Virginia!  Go check out all the other fun things over at Artsy VaVa now!

I'm Krista. Ringleader here on While He Was Napping, wife to my handsome Mr. Right & momma to my THREE energetic boys, Big J (9), Little J (6) & Little N (4). We FINALLY added a beautiful little girl to our family last December.

I’m knee-deep in Tonka trucks & Thomas trains. I survive our crazy days with Vanilla Coke, Sonic slushies, sweet snuggles and little giggles. When I tuck them in tight & kiss them good night, I get a little time to create & just be me.
