My Mother's Day gift for mom

 

This is what I made for my mom this Mother's Day!

 

Every year I like to make her something and this year

 

it was this ring. I hand painted it in her favorite colors!

 

 

Here are some basic directions to make your own:

 

So what I did was get a vintage earring

 

and take the clip on part off. Then you gently clean the

 

earring and let dry. Pick some acrylic paint colors you want to use.

 

(I only used 2 colors based off the flower design.)

 

 

I then mixed equal parts paint and Mod Podge (I'm sure you can use

 

a similar crafters glue if you want. This is just what I had on hand).

 

Dab the paint/glue mixture onto the parts of the earring or metal

 

you want to paint. Some areas may need extra mixture applied

 

and that's ok. Let dry.

 

 

Gently file the raised edges for a vintage-y look (I used

a nail file). Seal with a clear spray gloss. Let dry.

 

Add to your ring blank as necessary.

 

And it's that easy to make your vintage inspired ring!

Mother's Day Jewelry - Part 2 of 3

 

This is the second angel wing necklace I made for Mother's Day.



 

I made it for my sister. She has a little boy so I used a pretty blue

bead with gold trim. I also added a tiny little vintage locket.

 

 

I've had these 'Vintaj' (brand) angel wings for a while now

and have been waiting for the perfect time to use them!

 necklace for my sister with the corresponding right side angel wing.}

Mother's Day Necklace {What I created - Part 1 of 3}

 

This necklace was made for my mom.

She loves green - so I knew I had to incorporate green into the design.

I used 2 olivine Swarovski crystal elements.

 

 

I've had this little vintage locket - that I embellished with some

vintage text showing the word 'mother' - for a while now.

There's also a hint of glitter. :)

 

 

I've had these 'Vintaj' (brand) angel wings for a while now too

and have been waiting for the perfect time to use them!

 

My mom received the left side angel wing pendant and I made a

 necklace for myself with the corresponding right side angel wing.

 

 

 She loved it!
