October Overhauling - Photo Jewelry

School Pictures came home yesterday!  And they are Gorgeous..

no seriously.. they are the BEST pictures of the kids EVER from school.  

Usually the kids make a funny face or forget how to smile naturally when the camera comes out but these are Perfect!

So I thought it would be fun to make something with them.  Now usually I make them into silly things like 
Love Bugs, 

Leprechauns

or Valentines.. 

but this time I thought it would be sweet to make a photo bracelet.  And YES it was ALL from my stash.. *sigh*.. I really could own my own craft store.

So I started with this bracelet blank.

 Then I cut off the itsy bitsy picture that is used for identification on the picture envelope (BONUS!)

 and Mod Podged them.

Then I added the Mini Hippo's lovely pictures and a little chipboard piece that has a flower and says beauty cause um.. well, there are 4 spaces and 3 kids and I just can't justify a 4th to fill the space!

Last I added a top coat of Mod Podge Dimensional Magic

 and walked away for 3 HOURS.. 

until...

Ta-DA!

And of course, my bracelet couldn't have had the clasp so I added some pink ribbon to tie it.  

Now I can show off 

my kids

 as arm candy!

Aren't photos fun?

Love,
