I’m BAAAAAAACK! I took a week off with my husband and we headed for the Caribbean on a cruise ship.  I am relaxed, rejuvenated, refreshed and ready to go!

Okay I am trying this vlog thing.  Apparently I don’t know what I am doing.  I just used my little digital camera to record.  I have no idea how to compress it without losing quality.  I must have tried this for a week straight so I give up.

So if any of you gurus out there have any advice for me I am all ears.

But for now…here is my craptastic quality video of how to make Paint Chip Necklaces.

They are super easy to make and very fun.  The possibilities are endless with all the different color combinations and shapes you can make from this simple technique.

Supply List:
Paint Samples (I have used Behr, Valspar, Sherwin Williams and Glidden)
Dimensional Magic by Mod Podge
1” heavy duty hole punch
wax paper
jump rings
jewelry pliers
necklace chain
Cordless or
Corded Drill with a small bit
White Glue

Laundry Care Chart

ByInfarrantly Creative

Laundry…the dreaded chore.  When purchasing clothes I try and find articles that can be easily washed.  But sometimes there are those cute outfits that you have to have that need extra special care when laundering.  If there is more than one person in your home that does laundry (I WISH!) then having a chart to know their care might be helpful.  Today the girls from My Sister’s Suitcase are here to share with you their idea for helping keep the laundry organized.

  7. Wow…great video and a fantastic idea and such a fun project! Dimensional glaze, eh? Love it.

  8. Love the video blog! I'm a visual learner so videos always make more sense to me than reading How-To Instructions. Great job and the quality looked fine to me! Can't wait for another 😛

  10. Genius!!!! I paid $15 at some department store for some thing that looked just like this, but the violet faded to pink!!! I was so crabby that I had this great necklace that matched my violet sweater, and now it had faded to PINK??? I will go get some perfectly matched paint chips and make another one that WON'T fade. Hurray Beckie!!! You are so cute by the way.

  19. Great project! I haven't made anything with jumprings, but you make it look easy. I love the dimentional glue stuff!

    Welcome back!

  20. Thanks for the video, it was very helpful. As a new crafter it would be great if you listed the supply names in the post, just a suggestion 🙂

  21. Welcome back, we missed you! This video is great and what a great idea, I'm thinking Christmas gifts on a budget! Thank you for sharing.

  22. That was amazing, I am so ready to go and make one now!!! You did a great job and I can't wait to see more.

  26. That was wonderful! I saw your idea for candy corn jewelry on eighteen25 and I am so doing it! Thank you for the demo. ;o)

  29. Fabulous!! How fun!
    This (again) is such a clever idea. I hope you get reimbursed for advertising, I am definitely going to have to get some of that fancier Mod Podge. I never knew there was a variety.

  31. Beckie your video tutorial was great and you look so sweet. I only wish my sound worked on the computer. But you did such a good job I could follow along by just watching. But no sound is frustrating. Thanks for putting it together and sharing with us.

    Hugs…Tracy 🙂

  32. 'craptastic' my butt. I've tried over & over to do painting videos. Ugh. Double Ugh. Yuck. And other things I won't write in your comment section.

    I need someone to film for me – not the Hubs. He has 'helpful' suggestions. Drives me crazy. And as he always says – it's a short drive.

    Your video was great. Do some more. Purty please?

    And a paint chip necklace? Right up my alley, if I wore necklaces.

  40. I love this idea! I'm thinking of adding an initial or a monogram before the Modge Podge for some personalization. LOVE IT!!

  41. Perfect timing! I've been trying my hand at jewelry making this week, and I am heading to Home Depot tonight. I can't wait to try these, they are so cute!!
