Butterfly Jewelry Twist

I thought it would be fun to do a little twist by making a 3-D project

and use the Elegant Butterfly Punch to make a necklace.

Here's how

Punch a butterfly out of one of those lightweight plastic

boxes that everything seems to be packaged in today.

Place it on a piece of waxed paper and apply a layer of 

Crystal Effects to the whole piece.

Drop one SMALL drop of  Calypso Coral re-inker on each upper wing.

Drop one small drop of white Stazon re-inker as shown above.

Use a pin, toothpick, etc. to move the colored gel in a desired pattern.

Sprinkle on Dazzling diamonds in a few areas.

Let DRY for a FEW DAYS!

When dry Apply Basic Pearls to the center of the butterfly 

to define a body and at this point you can decide how you want to use it.

On a card, glue on a pin backing or do as I did and make a 

short necklace. I pierced a hole in each upper wing and attached 

a small jump ring.

String 30" of Calypso Coral Organdy Ribbon ( Sale-A-Bration item)

on each jump ring and knot every inch.

Attach ends together with a clasp or just tie at the neck.

Now it's time for you to try the TWIST Challenge.
