oday’s project is much easier than it seems. The supplies are easy to find and you can embellish it any way you like. I will show you how I created a paper “locket”, but I’m sure you will come up with wonderful versions of your own paper jewelry.
Supplies –
- Paper – decorative paper , magazines, craft paper etc.
- Cardboard – cereal box, pasta box, card stock
- Glue – glue stick, white glue or Mod Podge
- Scissor
- Pencil
- Necklace – a chain, length of yarn or something similar to complete the necklace
Special thanks to my grandson and daughter who graciously allowed me to use his image.
**keep in mind that if a child is wearing a necklace like this, it should be a jewelry chain. Not yarn or any other length of string that can be a choking hazard**
STEPS –
I used different sized jars to cut out my circles. The same size circles for the photo, cardboard and decorative paper. A slightly larger one for the fringed backing.
You can attach the bezel (loop) to the back of the locket or to the larger, fringed backing. Slip your chain through the open loop. All set! As you can see, I made a few of these 🙂
