DIY Pumpkin Domino Tile Necklace


If you are like me, you take down your jack-o-lanterns right after Halloween, but leave out any Pumpkins. Pumpkins are a great decoration for Thanksgiving. Speaking of pumpkins, I have one last pumpkin craft for you this year. I found some old miss matched Domino tiles at a yard sale. Among the pile was one orange tile. Lucky for me, I wanted orange, however I could have easily painted one too. It only took a few minutes, and a few other items,  to transform the orange tile into a whimsical rectangular pumpkin pendant necklace.  


Materials:

1 orange Domino tile
1 antique bronze jewelry bail
green floral wire
jewelry glue
1 ribbon necklace (I found mine at Wholeport)

Directions:

Glue bail to the top of tile, having whichever side you prefer to be facing out. Let dry for 2 days, or per glue package directions. Wrap floral wire around bail, and make curly cues rolling ends around a small dowel or needle nose pliers. String pumpkin pendant onto necklace.


If my pumpkin Domino tile necklace doesn't put you in the mood for Fall, then maybe my Passionate Pumpkin Pie Perfume Oil will. It's on SALE right now too. Regular price is $13.99, now only $8.99!
You can find it in my shop TLC Creations.

Well that's what I have been doing, what about you? Come share at our Anything Goes weekly linky party.

Fall To Winter Pine Cone Earring Craft


  

These earrings were really easy to make using charms from WholePort. The pine cones on their own, are perfect for Fall. Adding some white nail polish, and ribbon, makes them perfect for Winter.  You can order these from my Etsy shop TLC Creations, or make your own using my tutorial below. 


Materials:

White Nail Polish or Any White Paint
Ribbon 
Earring Findings
Jewelry Pliers
Lighter


Directions:

For simple Fall pine cone earrings, attach charms to earring findings, using jewelry pliers. For Winter earrings, paint charms with white paint. Once dry, tie a ribbon around the top of each pine cone. Optional, carefully heat and melt ribbon edges with lighter, to reduce fraying. Finally, attach charms to earring findings, using your jewelry pliers. 


Well that's what I have been making, what about you? Come share at our weekly Anything Goes linky party.

Fall Leaf Jewelry Tutorial Two Ways

 

These antique bronze leaf charms from WholePort are great on their own as earrings, but look even prettier when you add some color to them. All I did was color them with Sharpies, then seal them with a Mod Podge Clear Matte Acrylic Sealer. They will be the perfect Fall accessory. You may order them from my Etsy shop TLC Creations, or make your own, using my tutorial below. 


Materails:

Sharpie Permanent Markers
Mod Podge Clear Matte Acrylic Sealer Spray
Earring Findings
Jump Loops
Needle Nose Jewelry Pliers


Directions:

For simple antique bronze earrings, attach leaf charms to earring findings, using jewelry pliers, and jump loops. To add color, use Sharpie's to color your charms. Then spray with your sealer. I used two light coats of  sealer. Let dry, and attach to your earring findings, using jump loops, and needle nose jewelry pliers.
