Our friend Louise had an Alice In Wonderland themed surprise party at the weekend for he birthday, so I made her a reversible eat me / drink me necklace.

Instructions

  1. Small 110736 2f2015 09 01 032913 img 3589

    Gather your supplies and break off a small ball of brown clay to make a cookie charm.

  2. Small 110736 2f2015 09 01 033023 img 3590

    Roll the clay into a ball and press flat against a non-stick surface.

  3. Small 110736 2f2015 09 01 033057 img 3591

    Shape the clay into a heart, tapering the bottom to a point and pressing the middle down. Press the eye screw into the top of the heart.

  4. Small 110736 2f2015 09 01 033150 img 3592

    Repeat the process with a smaller ball of white to make icing for the top of your cookie.

  5. Small 110736 2f2015 09 01 033412 img 3593

    Press small glass seed beads into the icing to look like sprinkles and bake your charm in an oven until hard.

  6. Small 110736 2f2015 09 01 033450 img 3597

    Once dry, paint both sides of your charm with a little varnish to give it a nice gloss.

  7. Small 110736 2f2015 09 01 033600 img 3596

    Fill the small vial with water and then pout it into a bowl. Add a few drops of food colouring and sprinkle in some glitter.

  8. Small 110736 2f2015 09 01 033812 img 3598

    Refill the vial and add a drop of glycerin which will make the glitter fall slower when you shake it. Super glue the cork into the top of the vial and screw an eye screw in the top.

  9. Small 110736 2f2015 09 01 033936 img 3661

    Finally stamp eat me and drink me into two round metal blanks with a metal stamping kit and superglue them back to back.

  10. Small 110736 2f2015 09 01 034052 img 3665

    Attach a jump ring to your metal charm and slip onto a necklace chain. Slip the eat me and drink me charms onto either side.
