Description

I want send a bag of supplies from Photo Jewelry Making to play around with and came up with these necklaces. You can play around with so many designs, using different flowers and colours of paint.

Instructions

  1. Small img 0180

    Pick some flowers and press them in a flower press for a few weeks.

  2. Small img 0186

    Trace around your pendant on to paper to get the size.

  3. Small flower

    Get out some watercolour paints and a brush. Pick colours that will complement your flowers and start painting.

  4. Small img 0189

    You don't have to be very artistic for this - just make a nice wash of colours.

  5. Small img 0192

    Leave it to dry and then add some pretty scribbles with a pencil.

  6. Small img 0197

    Cut the paper to size.

  7. Small img 0198

    Stick your flowers on top using a small dab of white glue. Trim any bits off the flowers that go over the edges.
