Halloween Necklace and Earrings

 
 
 
Stickers, resin, black chain and some green, black and orange beads. Simple.
 

 
I've had these stickers for a while. So I thought i might experiment just a little. I mixed up a batch of resin and carefully covered each sticker that i was interested in using. It was a bit time consuming, but like I said, it was a experiment. After they set for 24 hrs, I came back, roughed up the backs of the stickers and mixed another batch of resin ... this time I added some black pigment to the resin. I carefully covered the backs of my stickers and again let them dry for 24 hrs.
 
 
And wha la .... add some chain and beads and I now have a cute little necklace to wear on Friday!

A Little "Boo Boo!"

I wanted to share a "boo boo" that happened while I was making my little Halloween magnets.
 

 
After I pour my resin in my piece, I let it rest for about 45 minutes to an hour. Then I return and check for air bubbles. As you can see in the picture above, especially around the top left edge .... I got a bit too zealous with my heat gun, and what actually happened, I created MORE bubbles!!
 
 
SO .... don't heat up your piece too much. Hold your heat gun approximately 6 inches away and move it back and forth over your piece.
 
 
But see ... I turned a lemon into lemonade so to speak. I hate to throw mistakes away, they are good teaching tools. I had these flat rhinestones, so I glued them in place around the edge, and now I have another magnet. Not perfect, but not bad for a uh oh moment.
 
Love Always .... Carla
