New Craft Monday -Scrabble Tile Pendants


My mother has never really been very crafty. As much as she would like to be I think she tends to shy away from crafts due to her frustration with them. She still needs to realize that everything she makes will not necessarily come out the exact way someone else's did.


We decided to have her come over on Mondays and we would both do a craft together. This week was learning to make the glass pedants. I bought a small kit on Etsy from Annie Howes.

The kit came with everything on how to make them including the PDF Instructions sent to my email box. You will still need a few small items like a sponge, and a toothpick, as well as an exacto-knife. I highly recommend her easy peasey how to Kits.

To My Surprise when I opened the kit, there everything was. Details were also not lacking in this kit. It was beautiful to the eye and easy to understand. Of course the Instructions were very well written as well, so that helped. Neither of us had ever made one before. Not only was it fun, but our first one came out really cool. I can't wait to wear it.

Me and my mother did change it slightly by using fabric instead of paper so that I could use a piece of the owl from my new fabric.

They turned out very nicely, and now I have a new owlie necklace.
