My sister Lana made the necklace below at the top. She created many of the pieces to be 3 dimensional...very cool.
Lana's finished project. She used the paper, Paris Night from g.c.d studios.
My finished necklace...I'm going to wear this.

Paper Necklaces
This week my sister Lana came over for dinner one night and we decided to do a quick project. Using primarily paper, punches and a sewing machine we made these paper necklaces.
We took out a variety of punches and paper and got started. Our favorite punch was definitely the envelope punch!
I like using the pads of paper, since all the paper coordinates. I used the paper from My Mind's Eye, Lost and Found - Blush. I lined up my pieces how they were going to be arranged.
The next step was to sew the pieces together on a sewing machine. What I liked the most was using black thread on top and white thread in the bobbin, creating a cool twine-look when sewed.
Then, I embellished mine with buttons, flowers and images.
This was really a fun and quick project to do...hope you'll try it.

Your necklaces are cool & unique & looks like a great summer project for young & old. Moms can help their daughters create one out of everyday things at home (i.e. cereal & food boxes, magazines, greeting cards, etc). What a wonderful way to bond with your kids!! F

A class...sure - it would be fun to play together. I have TONS of punches and paper. How about $25 and I'll provide all the goodies. Email me if you're interested. I'm thinking 3 hours. Maybe July 14th...but I'm open to other dates as well. As far as the envelope punch - I think I've seen it at Michael's - but if not there, then yes, I just google the name and buy on-line from ebay or some other on-line scrapbook store.
DeleteOh darn....I have a commitment on that day.........July is actually crazy for me.....If you do something in August I am in...
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! You & Lana did a great job!
