So this weekend I spent an amazing amount of time perusing blogs and finding some great ideas from really talented women. I have to say I enjoyed a ModPodge day on Saturday and created a custom book cover for my Kindle.
I saw these covers selling on Etsy and had to make my own. I am going to come up with a tutorial when I do my next one; this is just the prototype I figured out on my own and while pretty and functional, it needs some extra do-dahs to class it up.
The necklace is the one I made Friday, and it was super easy to create. The discs with the hanger already attached were $3.99 for 6, and the chains were $3.99 for 4. The paper and embellishments I bought on sale, but alas I had forgotten my coupon so I had to pay full price for the ModPodge (boo! But it's ok because this stuff is amazing!) So for a grand total of $2.00 you too can make this amazing necklace! For a step by step tutorial, visit simplymodernmom - she has an easy one with pictures.
These little necklaces are selling like hotcakes on Etsy and other sites, and are really easy to personalize. You can add other little metal charms, change the chain or even hang it on ribbon, and include a special message to make it uniquely you or perfect for someone else.
One of the other things I have been obsessing over lately is birds and bird cages. *The Graphics Fairy LLC has an extensive collection of pictures and clip art, everything from silhouettes to Victorian inspired illustrations. I found some amazing paper from K&Company by Brenda Walton:

(You might recognize the cover page as the one I used to create the Welcome Sign)
I am already planning another necklace using paper from this pack and printing an image on it of a swallow from the Graphics Fairy site.
Keep your eyes peeled for the rest of the week as I will be posting more pictures and the tutorial for the eReader cover!
