New Ideas for Hodgepodge Hardware

In the days before Stampin' Up! (and a number of other hobbies...) I used to make and sell jewellery, so when I saw this idea I couldn't resist!

It just so happens that last month I finally brought Hodgepodge Hardware, which had been on my 'wishlist' for months, so I had everything I needed...

You will need:

RubOns, Crystal Effects, 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon, Hodgepodge Hardware, Cardstock scraps and Craft & Rubber Scissors (or similar to trim the metal tags) 

What to do:

• 
  
  Cut scraps of cardstock to fit inside your chosen Hodgepodge Tag (I cut two as mine is double sided)
• 
  
  Embellish the scraps with your chosen RubOns.
• 
  
  Carefully adhere cardstock to the Hodgepodge Tag using Crystal Effects (Use 2 tags if you are making a double sided pendent like mine). Allow to dry.
• 
  
  Trim one end off the tag using Craft & Rubber Scissors
• 
  
  If yours is double sided, adhere the 2 tags back to back using Crystal Effects
• 
  
  Once dry, apply a layer of Crystal Effects to the surface on each side to protect your images and make them nice and glossy. Allow several hours to dry.
• 
  
  Thread ribbon through the hole and secure using the buckle from Hodgepodge Hardware set.

I think this would make a great pendent for a necklace, but am planning to give this one away as a bookmark.

I would love to see your versions of this project - e-mail me your photos and I'll publish them on my blog. There's also some 'blog candy' up for grabs for my favourite entry before the end of February...
