Silhouette Necklace

I'm not sure if you remember little

(and if you don't here's a little refresher . . .)



Well, in the process of preparing for her little party, I came across this . . .

Gorgeous! I know.
And, quite frankly, impossible to top (which is why, once I'm done having children, I'm most definitely buying it!).

However, I was about to die to have something like it for the party after seeing it . . . so I managed to pull something together.

Here's what I did . . .

(All of these supplies can be found at Hobby Lobby.)


First, trace and cut your background paper to match up with your pendant.


Then, cutout your silhouette. (I used this tutorial.)
I will confess, this takes a steady hand . . .
and it took me 3 times before I was happy with one.



After you have your silhouette just right,
glue it down and fill the pendant with the resin.



It's certainly not much compared to hers,
but it was perfect for the party
. . . and I'm happy to say, I still wear it all the time!
Pin It Now!

  5. So cute. I love this idea. I bet it would be hard to cut out all of the details, but yours turned out wonderfully! I would love it if you would stop by and share at the crafty link party going on right now at Lines Across My Face.
    I hope to see you soon,
    Rachel
