Chunky Pearl Necklace

I've discovered this site called PS I Made This. It's full of ideas and cheap alternatives to help us look uptodate and gorgeous!

The founder, creator, and author of the site, Ereka Domesek's motto is “I see it. I like it. I make it.“ I couldn't agree more.

I'm going to give this simple necklace idea a go, just need to get myself off to Primani for some pearls' and I'm away.

Follow the link for full how to.

Record Bowl

 

Quick cheap and oh so easy (not me, the project).

 

 

  

What you will need:

1. One old vinyl record or if your brave enough a vintage classic would be ideal for a unique gift.
2. A heat resistant bowl or a empty tin can and baking sheet for ease.
3. An oven - set at about 150 degrees
4. oven mits

What to do:

1. Heat oven for a few minutes.
2. Place record on upturned bowl or can on the baking sheet and place in oven.
3. Take a look after about 1 minute and keep checking until desired meltage.
4. Remove et al from oven with mits and leave in place until hardened again.

Fill with what ever you see fit (I've used it for collected business cards).
