Glitter Washer Bracelet

  Mellywood's Mansion upped the glitziness of the typical washer bracelet (or necklace) by adding glitter! It's pretty gorgeous, isn't it?!   See the Glitter Washer Bracelet.    

Threaded Washer Pendant

 

Here's another take on washer pendants from Polka Dots and Paisley. No metal stampers or hammers necessary - just some embroidery thread! What a cute idea. These would also be great to do in birthstone colors!

Snowman Washer Necklace/Ornament

I love the washer jewelry that was popular a couple of years ago in blogland.  Here is a snowman washer necklace that is perfect for winter.  I think it would be cute as an ornament too.  A Creative Princess came up with the idea.

Washer Jewelry!!!

Using washers from the hardware store to make jewelry is awesome.  I'm loving these two ideas from Little Buds and Petals.  This first one is a multi-colored flower necklace.   SO cute!

You've got to see how this washer ring was made.  Very cool idea!

You gotta love washer jewelry!!!

Washer Monograms, Washer Wall Art

There are so many uses for washers that you buy at the home improvement store. Add this washer monogram to the list. It's fabulous. I'll Get You My Pretties made some other interesting shapes and cool designs with washers for some great wall art.

Back 2 School Stamped Washer Keychain

Amanda at Sugar Bee (Craft Edition) shares this awesome and cute washer idea. When my daughter goes to kindergarten, she will have one of these on her backpack!!!!

************************************************************************************

Back-to-School sure snuck up on me! Here's a quick easy project for backpacks. My kids know our home phone number, but I got to thinking, what if they need to call me on my cell phone - they don't know that number. So I thought of this project with the stamped washers.

I wanted their name on the front, to identify their backpack, with the phone number on the back. But when you stamp into washers, it raises up the other side, so I couldn't just stamp on the back because it would raise through to the front (see what I mean, in the picture below). I came up with the idea of using 2 washers glued together. You need a glue that will adhere to metal - I went with Gorilla Glue.

With this type of glue, you get the object wet then put on the glue then let it sit 5 minutes - be sure not to put on too much, it'll expand as it dries.

After the 5 minutes, you put the objects together like you want them and clamp it tight. I left it several hours in the clamp.

That's it - now it's a double-sided washer. Then I made a quick tube of material, turned it right-side out (using that TOOL I love), and tucked in the raw ends. I poked it through the washers and sewed it down. Then made a loop of the other end and sewed it down. I slid a carabiner or clip into the loop and that was it. In the picture, boy one is right-side up and girl one is back-side up:

Perfect for backpacks!

Actually, the backpacks have a loop on the inside so if you don't want to clip them on the outside, look for that:

BLING! BLING! BLING! This broken mirror dresser is awesome! I'm very impressed. See a close-up (look at those knobs) and the how-to at Mrs. Bingles Vintage Christmas! Go HERE.

A Little Tipsy has another great idea for washers! Paint with nail polish for a little extra sheen and color! Great for necklaces, bracelets, key chains and more. See the nail polish washers HERE.

These ARE the coolest night lights ever! How fun for a kid's room. Visit Kitschalicious to see how to make these personalized night lights HERE.

Guest Blogger - Just Another Day In Paradise - Washer Felt Cuff

Hi everyone. My name is Larissa and I can normally be
found over at

Just Another Day in Paradise,

where I spend time
crafting, cooking, throwing parties, and taking care of my three little men.

Here are three of my posts that you might love to see!



A washer bracelet made with hemp and beads.




Bib necklace from a t-shirt!

Little Man Tie (using velcro - not elastic - complete with tie pattern). This was actually made from a placemat!

I am so happy to be here at Someday Crafts showing all of you a
fun take on the washer jewelry craze.

Washer Felt Cuff

You will need:

Washers
Spray paint
Diamond Glaze
t-shirt scraps
felt
snaps
coordinating thread
hot glue

First: You will need to spray paint your washer with your chosen color. It will take several coats.

Once your washer is painted and dried, you will apply this--

Slowly outline and then fill in your washer. Make sure to follow the instructions on the Diamond Glaze...allow for proper time to dry...it will take a couple of days.

With your t-shirts scraps, take a strip about 1 inch by 14 and roll into a flower...
here is a tutorial I recently did for this technique.

Now that you have a rolled t-shirt flower, hot glue it onto the center of your washer.

To make the cuff, measure the length you need to go around your wrist. Cut two strips out of felt measuring that length by the width of 1 1/2".

Pin the two pieces together and sew around the outside edge. Then "quilt" it by sewing every 1/4". It will look like this--

To attach the snap, figure out where the closure will need to be.

Mark that spot. Make a small slit with an exacto knife for the snap pieces to go into, and then follow snap instructions.

Once the snap is in place, hot glue your washer onto the felt cuff.

Now you have a great and original piece of cuff jewelry. So easy to make and so cute.

I'd love for you to come visit my blog, Just Another Day In Paradise!!!!

I think you will love it!
