Instructions
1. Stamp Oval Label on Cardstock on Bristol board.
2. Stamp sentiment in the center of the label.
3. Use scissors to cut around outside of label, leaving 1/8” border all around.
4. Use 1/16” hole punch to punch 5 tiny holes at the bottom of the oval 3/8” apart.
5. Cut 5/8” squares from Black cardstock and glue the punched letters to the squares.
6. Use Gold leafing pen to outline the edges of the squares.
7. Punch Ύ” circles in blue cardstock, then cut 1Ό” squares around the punched areas, and 2 holes approximately 1Ό” apart on the top of the oval.
8. Dab the oval with the Clear embossing stamp pad and immediately sprinkle with clear embossing powder.
9. Heat until the powder is melted, then sprinkle with powder, heat & repeat this process at least 3 times or until the clear embossing powder is fairly thick.
10. Wrap 26 gauge wire around the thin metal mandrel or around a skewer until you have enough wrapped for the wire handle (after stretched out it needs to be about 6” long).
11. Cut the wire flush with the ends and flatten the last two loops with needle nose pliers.
12. Attach a jump ring into the hole, and then attach the wire handle.
13. For the dangling charms, attach the charm to the loop, then desired beads before forming a loop at the other end.
14. Attach the dangling charms to the bottom with jump rings.
