FuN Washer Necklaces!
Sorry for the not so quality pics…but I just had to share… These are so fun to make!
I found this idea on YouTube and it is from the DIY Network show called: “Creative Juice”!
These were sooo easy and the turned out so cute!!! On some of the ones I made…distressed the edges with ink.
Another option you could do instead of using Diamond Glaze…is that you could pour resin over the top. If you decided to do that… you could prop the washers up on toothpicks so that the resin can drip off. When they were completely dry… I pried the stuck toothpicks off… and sanded the leftover resin on the back… OFF… till it was smooth. Resin gave them a very smooth, raised glassy look.
Also another option… that my daughter really liked… is using a glitter glaze. I found some of this over by where they keep the glue and resin at Michaels . This really gave it a “Bling” look to the washer. You could do so many different things with these… so just experiment… and have fun with it! These might be fun to make at either a Mother/Daughter activity…or Girls Camp!!
