Hey! It's day 18 of Smeared and Smudged Forum's 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop! Yea! This has been so much fun, hopping and commenting AND I thank everyone for the awesome comments you've give me!
I've done cardboard pendants before, but this one is just so much cooler! I took it up a notch and added more layering. Plus the flip side of this was made from a Halloween Doughnut box! Sweet!
Materials:
Cardboard - a couple of petty pieces and several filler pieces
Aleene's Tacky Glue
Circle punch - 1 3/4" - you could use any size or shape, but it's good to start simply Small hole punch - 1/8" - The Cropadile is the easiest to use through several layers
Dimensional sealer - glossy
1. Punch out cardboard circles - 2 beauties for the back and front, 3 or 4 filler pieces.
2. Glue the filler pieces together, then carefully add the front and back pieces. Try to keep glue off the front and back. Allow to dry - you may want to clamp it while it dries to keep it flat.
3. Punch small holes in the top and bottom of the stack.
4. Add dimensional sealer to one side at a time, allowing each side to dry completely.
If you check the Halloween Doughnut Earrings post, you'll see how to make a dangle for this pendant and I'll show an easy wire bail for the top of your pendant in a couple of days.
