Mermaid Cuffs DIY
I grew up in Colorado with a bathroom that was decorated in seashells. My mom was obsessed with them. It wasn't until I was 19 years old that I actually saw an ocean, but even before then I loved anything and everything about living on the coast. Even if you live miles away from the ocean, these cuffs are perfect accessory to wear with your favorite summer outfit. Dressed up with a fancy dress or down with a t-shirt, you'll feel like the beach is just down the street.

YOU'LL NEED
Pearls and pearl cabochons
Paintbrushes
Minwax Polycrylic
Transparent tape
Mix 2 teaspoons each of the two parts of your Smooth On #325
Pour it in your molds and let set for about 15 minutes
Remove from the molds while the pieces are flexible and tape them to the wood bangle
Let them harden for another hour
*They will harden to the shape of the bangle making your piece look polished
Remove the hardened pieces
Paint them with DecoArt Dazzling Metallics in gold
Paint your wood bangles with Americana Acrylics in a color of your choice
Coat the bangle with Minwax Polycrylic
Glue your dry pieces to the bangle with E-6000
Tape them in place while the E-6000 dries
Add pearls and cabochons with more E-6000
You're done!

Crystal Cluster Jewelry with Dimensional Magic!
I discovered Mod Podge Dimensional Magic from Plaid a while ago and I have not stopped playing with it since. This stuff is MAGIC! As a rule I work on wax paper surfaces because glue doesn't stick to it and I figured out that you could glob on Dimensional Magic on the wax paper and it would peel right off. Well, after that, my mind was racing and this is what I came up with! I hope you enjoy working with it as much as I do!
Here's the how-to video!
You'll need:
Wax paper
Mod Podge Dimensional Magic
Bobby pins
Flat back gems
Jump rings
Earring wires
Chain
Needle nose pliers
Prepare a flat surface with wax paper
Place a bobby pin as shown
Lay flat rhinestones on either side of it but not toward the loop at the top
Drip the Dimensional Magic over the gems so that the glue is touching all of the pieces.
Add more gems on top of the bobby pin and to cover up the bottom of the pin.
Create a matching set for earrings, a large pendant for your necklace and two side pieces for your necklace with two bobby pins as shown
Let dry over night
Peel them off of the wax paper when they're dry
Glue more stones to the back of your earring pieces
Add jump rings and earring wires to create the earrings
Put your necklace together with jump rings
You're done!
