Cheri: I thought I would post a few of the items that I made for my sis and my nieces for Christmas. I will start with the bracelet that I made for my sis.
Lynne does a squiggle usually daily, she then goes on to create a character or a person, or even a thing and then works on her color and shading of the squiggle. I especially love her squiggles and look forward to seeing them each day.
When I think about making something for someone, I try to consider what I would like to receive. I know my sister likes bracelets so I was pretty sure that I wanted to make her a bracelet. When I thought about it a little more, I realized that her squiggles would be awesome shrunk down and made into a bracelet for her.
I bought a bracelet blank at Hobby Lobby. I then copied her squiggles from our blog and shrunk them down to size. I chose which ones I wanted to use and cut them out. I then glued them to a small piece of card stock and then glued all of that to the blanks. After I was sure that these were dry, I filled the blanks with Mod Podge Dimensional Magic medium. There are a lot of other resins that can be used but I really wanted a medium that would be very low fuss.
I am really quite proud of how it turned out and she really loved it.
Cheri, that is a totally awesome, wonderful gift!! I can imagine how Lynne would love it. Great idea!!
This really was awesome! You did a fabulous job on not only the creation (which just looks amazing), but also on finding just the right gift.
I opened the gift and saw that it was a cute bracelet, then I looked more closely and saw the squiggles. I couldn’t believe it. A great gift and big surprise.
