Paper and Bezels

Today I want to share an easy way to do Bezels 

without the long wait for resin to dry.  There are lots

of really pretty Bezels in the Butterbee Scraps online

store and a quick and easy way to fill them is by hand

cutting bits of your favorite papers or stamping on the 

papers and cutting it to fit inside each of them.

For my first necklace I used these things
from the Butterbee online store:

Antique Silver Tibetan Charms

Silver Tone Ball Chain

Clear Rhinestones

Lovestruck Charm Set

 Large Silver Rectangle Bezels

You will also need Glossy Accents, Beacon Quick Grip,

wire cutters, scissors and some tweezers.

I cut the papers with scissors to the size i wanted to
fill the bezel with and made sure that I had the pattern
where I wanted it.  Then I filled it with foam dots to

fill the bottom up a little and then stuck in the papers.

I used my wire cutters to snip off both ends of the charm

and then glued on the love heart charm in the center

of it and let it dry.  Meanwhile I filled the bezel with a thin

layer of Glossy Accents and let that dry too.  When it was

done i used a little bit of Beacon Quick Grip glue to adhere
the charm to the center and added a few rhinestones at the top

and at the bottom and both sides of the charm. For the 

chain you just cut a piece however long that you would

like and attach the closure piece on the end of it. It's super easy.

And if that wasn't easy then my next necklace I cut

2 pieces of glittery paper, one black with silver dots and the other a

striped silver and glued those in at the bottom of the bezel.

Next I glued in the large silver rose charm and let it all

dry really well. To finish it i added a really thin layer of Glossy

Accents and tiny clear rhinestones on each corner inside

of the bezel and let it dry.  I put the same chain on this

one too because you get so much with your order it's 

easy to do 2-3 projects easy.  These were super simple and
you can do a bunch for gifts in just a night... sometimes it's
good just to do fun and easy things to change it up a little!!

That's all from me today so have a great day and
create something amazing ok :)

Crafts N Things Flower Necklace

   

A long time back I got asked to do a necklace with
the new Bezels from Spellbinders in a flower theme
for Crafts N Things Fall Magazine so I created this necklace
in beautiful shades of pinks and antique golds and lots of resin.

I used the matching dies to fit inside the bezels and on the
metal flowers on the sides.  I also added layers of ICE Resin and
bits of glitter and chunky embossing powder in the bezels and wha-la!

You can find the complete supply list and directions in the
Fall Issue of the Crafts N Things magazine and just to
let you all know who havent' tried this kind of thing
it's really easier than it looks and I did have alot of fun making it.

Thanks so much for stopping over,
Hugs... Teresa
