It’s October!
And, with that, it feels as though Fall has officially begun. The air is a little cooler, leaves are becoming a little more colorful, and pumpkins are popping up everywhere.
Add a little touch of Autumn to your wardrobe with these adorable pumpkin pendants.
Supplies:
Dominoes
Alcohol Inks
Alcohol Blending Solution
Alcohol Blending Solution
Alcohol Ink Applicator With Felt
3D Pumpkins: We found ours in the scrapbook section.
Paper Banner: Also found in the scrapbook section.
Glue
Glossy Accents
Jewelry Bails
Add a few drops of alcohol ink to the felt applicator.
Add a drop or two of the blending solution.
Start dabbing the ink onto the domino.
For our first pendant we used orange alcohol ink.
Don’t forget the sides of the Domino.
Once the ink is dry, glue on a pumpkin.
Cover the domino and pumpkin with Glossy Accents.
This will go on cloudy but will dry clear.
Use a toothpick or pin to pop any bubbles.

Once the Glossy Essentials is dry,
glue a jewelry bail onto the back of the Domino using E6000.
Adorable!
For the second pendant,
dab on orange and green alcohol ink to the Domino.
Allow to dry and glue the paper banner onto the Domino.
The strings of the banner made it too long,
so they were cut to the appropriate length.

Add a pumpkin and cover with Glossy Accents.
Once dry, add a bail to the back.
This would be a great project to do with kids.
These also make great magnets.
Just glue a magnet onto the back instead of the bail.
