This was a cultural event last week that I attended and decorated.  I was asked to do the decorations but the problem was there's wasn't much of a budget allocated for the décor so I came up with this idea - A flower vase out of recycled water bottle + a bamboo placemat. I think it is beautiful and  it coordinated well with the theme.

Washer Pendant Tutorial

A few months ago, I was inspired by Recycled Art. As I was doing my research online, I stumbled upon a Washer Pendant Tutorial. At that time, I did not have a blog yet, so I was not documenting who I got the tutorial or inspiration from. Since I started blogging, I am making sure to take notes of my resources now for proper credit. For now, the credit goes to every Crafter's  online that does the Washer Pendant already.

                              

Anyways,I tried to replicate my first Washer Pendant so I can make you guys a tutorial. This handmade jewelry is made out of Fender Washers , Yes ladies, you can run out and raid your man's tool box right now. Lol! I used the 1½ " diameter and it was perfect because I was able to use my 1½" circle punch to punch out my designer paper. For the center hole, I used the ¼"  hand puncher tool.

For my adhesive and sealer, I used the Liquid Embossing, if you do not have that, you can also use the Mod Podge.
