Step 1
First gather all your supplies
Step 2
First paint your gumball container. I used a squinky container since I had a lot sitting around my room. You can also use markers but it will came off.
Step 3
After it was done drying I kinda used a marker to go back over it.
Step 4
I then started to add the nail stickers to the outside for a little zest.
Step 5
I also added glitter glue which takes awhile to dry but added it for more fun.
Step 6
I then added a layer of school glue to the outside to make the nail polish chip off.
Step 7
I made my own charm using a benderoo and cutting it into little pieces to make a cross.
Step 8
I then added some nail decals which you can make out of poylmer clay if you search up 'polymer clay canes.' I bout mine at 'Clair's' or 'Justice'. Plus I also used my sticky tack which you use to put posters on your wall to keep the charms from moving everywhere you don't have to d this though. I did this because my hot glue gun wasn't working and I used the tack.
Step 9
I then used a washable marker and y clear packaging and used my container as a guide to make a circle. I then cut it out.
Step 10
I then started to cover the ridges with sticky tack but you can use hot glue.
Step 11
Then I got this.
Step 12
Make some holes in your container you can use a needle mine already had it since it was a squinkys container. Then grab your string or elastic to make a cord for the necklace. Then tie the ends.
Step 13
Grab your paper or if you have mad computer skills to make some sort of awesome small quotes to stick in it put it in the top part of your container. then hot glue it in or use sticky tack. Then you are done.
