Just Something They Made!

Inspired by the watch case pendant tutorial, Tania Wood of WiliBleu made this wonderful keepsake for her father for Father’s Day. It holds a photo of her and her daughter. She’ll be attaching a card that says “Love your Girls”. Don’t you just love that? And... look at the 143 bottle she made from this tutorial, she used the Vitrea 160 paint pens and recommends them. I want to know what’s rolled up inside the bottle! Just lovely Tania, this made my day.
















Jennifer from Random Vintage Finds had her own spin on the watch case craft, it’s so great:

“I had an old wrist watch face with the glass. I dug around all my collections of things and found a few little items to put in it, like a "j" charm, a old watch face, and some crystal beads. I glued a bright piece of paper in the background with mod podge, and then layed all my pieces inside. I used Diamond Glaze to set everything (if you get any bubbles make sure to pop them right away, this also needs to dry overnight). After it was all dry I added a few buttons and little things unglued (so they would move around). I put the front glass piece back on and pushed everything back together. I attached it all to a large pin I had and added some ribbon that matched the items inside. I purchased my old watch at a garage sale a while back and just know I would use it for something someday. I have a few smaller watch faces (as well as a pocket one like the web-site I found this idea on) that I am going to alter. I hope you try this. It was a lot of fun and it made a keepsake that will last forever.”

Thanks Jennifer!
