Make Your Own Vera Bradley Pendants:
So, as I was thumbing through my latest Vera Bradley catalog and dreaming of which bag, wallet or wristlet I can't live without...then, I got an idea.
These little pattern samples in the back of the catalog were just too pretty to end up in the recycle bin...
So, I cut them out...
Painted my wood squares from JoAnn's...and then I Modge Podged the pattens onto the squares.
After they dried, I drilled a small hole for my jump ring then I Diamond Glazed them (sorry no pics) and let them dry overnight...I added the jump ring a toggle and some chain...and this is what it turned out like:
I am thinking these would be a great Christmas gift with a matching wristlet or bag...I might even make some into key chains.
I really love them all...I hope you do too!
Thanks for stopping by!
