Cork Pendant Necklaces



Hi Everyone, 

If you search for wine cork necklaces on Pinterest you will find all kinds of great ideas.  But I decided as an experiment, to combine, cork and acrylic paint and rub on decals... I like how my experiment turned out!

Here's what you need and how to make a pendant too....

1. Wine or craft corks, rub on decals, screw eyes, a craft knife, acrylic paint and a sealer (I use Weldbond - it dries clear and non sticky)

2. Cut the cork to the size you require, 
3. Paint lightly the areas you want covered - allow to dry
4. Gently rub on the decal
5. Seal and allow to dry.
6. Carefully screw in the screw eye


Add a chain and your pendant is ready to wear... 
 

 I seriously had so much fun making these and I am excited to try my ideas out on more. 
 

 What do you all think? And which one is your favourite? I'd have to say mine is the turquoise stamp.



Take care

  2. I haven't stopped by in awhile but I'm glad I dropped in tonight. Way cooooool necklaces. I love them. My favorite, since you asked, is the turquoise one with the stamp. Pretty neat that you have a stamp just the right size for the cork. Great looking jewelry here on your blog.
