Crayon Votives

The Swell Designer Crayon Votives

What a great idea: crayon votives, simply marble glasses with crayons!
In the tutorial it says that the wax will get a little tacky but doesn’t melt away.
I will have to try this one day :)

Bottle Cap Stamps

Vanessas Values Bottle Cap Stamps

I find these bottle cap stamps a great idea: simply glue ready bought craft foam pieces onto the bottle caps and you’re done.
Because I mostly don’t like the ready bought craft foam pieces (locomotives are e.g. not my cup of tea ;-)) I thought that I’d better cut the craft foam myself or use thin self carved eraser stamps.
But if you have to know precisely where to stamp I think that the miniature marble stamps are better than the bottle cap stamps.

Wire Wrapped Pebble Pendant

unikatissima Wire Wrapped Pebble Pendant

I saw the instruction about how to make wire wrapped marble earrings and found it great.

But 1. I’d find real marbles too heavy in my ears and 2. I didn’t have any ;-)
So I took a pebble and wrapped it with the same technique with common anodised garden wire.
I think that it is suitable as jewelry only to a limited extent, because I think that the wire does not give a comfortable feeling on the skin. But on the other hand I can say that I can really recommend the instruction ;-))
