{Digital Silhouettes Gift #2}

Okay, this DIY gift is one my favorites so far. I love it so much, I am ashamed to say how many I made ... okay I made 4, but they are SO cheap that I wanted to give them to all the grandparents after I saw how beautiful they turned out!!

Let me introduce to you, my digital silhouette necklace...



Not only are these cheap, but they are incredibly easy to make as well! Here's how it's done ...

Take your digital silhouettes (I used they same ones I did the other day, but I scaled them down to a little smaller than 1 inch. Take a 1 inch circle cut out tool and cut out both silhouettes like so.




I put my silhouettes on a glass pendant that has a silver ring around the sides. It's actually supposed to to have something inside both pieces of glass. I however decided to put my silhouettes on the outside of the glass. One on each side. (Found mine at Hobby Lobby for $3.00) I took some super glue and glued my silhouettes to both sides of the pendant, and I made sure the edges were completely down, that is really important.

After they are both on good, take your Mod Podge Dimensional Magic and go over the entire pendant like this ...



The silhouettes will turn blue and the Mod Podge will look unclear (first picture), but they will eventually look like the second picture and become hard.




I let them dry for about 12 hours each. After that side is dry, I then flip it over and do the whole thing over again with the other silhouette. Obviously you don't have to do this step, but since I have two boys, I wanted one on either side.

You'll have to get a chain as well, but they are easy to find. I also picked mine up from Hobby Lobby, and let me tell you how impressed I am with it. I would have paid a lot of money for this at a department store, but at Hobby Lobby only $1.00 because it was 50% off :)

So there you go, a beautiful, easy & cheap Christmas gift!






** Did I mention that I made one for myself :) I have worn it the past couple of days and I have had 3 people come up and ask me where I got it! YES!
