Wood Board Book Page and Fabric Charms

Hi, I'm Marissa from Rae Gun Ramblings.

I blog about all things crafty, tasty, pretty and just plain

life. I'm an insanely huge fan of young adult fiction (love

Potter and Hunger Games), I am married to a super talented

I also run a handmade baby and toddler clothing shop on etsy called

Rae Gun. Hopefully you'll

stop by my blog and shop and see some of my latest adventures and

maybe share some of your own at my What We Wore
and Made Link party.

Today I want to share a tutorial on how to make awesome necklaces. I

found these cute wood pieces at Michael's and knew I needed them. That

combined with my love of fabric and books these necklaces were

destined to be. You can pretty much use any fabric or paper to make

totally personalized necklaces, tags to go on other things and more.

Plus they are so easy, inexpensive, and fun. I'll admit it, I may be

slightly addicted.

What You Need

What to Do

1. Identify and size your fabric, book page or paper. For the fabric I

just traced around my wood and cut. For my book page I scanned in a

page I liked, resized it and then printed it.

2. Paint wood and let dry.

3. Put your fabric or paper on the wood using a layer of Mod Podge. I

liked the fabric texture on top so while I did a top coat of Mod Podge

over the paper ones I just did the under layer on the fabric one. Let

dry.

4. Punch holes. (I recommend practicing on a different piece of wood first).

5. Add ring findings and attach to a chain.

6. Look at your awesome creation and wear it with pride.

I hope you like this. I'd love to see your creations if you try it

out. Also if you're a Hunger Games Geek like me I'll be sharing my

District 12 wire wrapped coal pendant tute on my blog next week. I hope

you'll stop by and say hello and share some of your own creativity at
