Mod Podge Jewelry Part 1


I sew a lot, so I have plenty of clothes. What I lack is fun jewelry to go with the cothes I make, and today I went to Joann's to remedy this. Today's conquest involves Mod Podge, specifically the Dimensional Magic kind that you see on many Etsy items. I'm trying two different ideas, one involving sprucing up an old pair of earrings and the other repurposing some unused bobbins. This is the first:

For this, I repurposed some empty wrappers and old Scrabble earrings I bought and accidentally ruined in the shower a few years ago. I traced the scrabble squares onto the backside of the candy wrappers, cut them out, and then applied them to the Scrabble squares with strong craft glue.

Once they dried I Mod Podged them with a thin, light layer to seal and protect, and then a thicker layer to add a sheen. I left them to dry for awhile.

And just like that, new earrings!
