Southern Scraps

Hey! Hope you all have had a great week. It's been a busy hectic one here, but I did manage to put together this pendant necklace.  It's a quick and easy project. All you need to complete this are: 24 inch chain jump rings clasp pendant All of my supplies came from Michael's and as you an see, the pendant was on clearance at $1.99. You also need a pair of jewelry wire cutters and a pair of jewelry pliers. I removed one oval link from my chain so that I had two pieces. I attached the pendant to the two pieces of chain with jump rings and then attached the clasp pieces at the opposite ends. Done! I told you it was quick and easy. I promptly wore my new necklace the next day.   Sharing here:   Under the Table and Dreaming * Sundae Scoop * * DIY Sunday Showcase * The DIY’ers * Masterpiece Monday * Motivate Me Monday *   Mop It Up Monday * Monday Funday * Give me the Goods * The Scoop * Project Inspired * Show and Tell * Handmade T

Metal stamping has been on my list of things to try out for a long time. I have owned a set of metal stamps purchased from Harbor Freight for over a year now but just finally got around to using them a couple of months ago. I made necklaces for Christmas gifts for my mother and in-laws. These were a lot of fun and come together fairly quickly so they would aslo be great gifts for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day or anytime you need to whip a a gift for a special girl friend. My stamp set is 1/8 inch and I used 9mm sterling silver discs. I also used sterling silver chain for these since they were gifts. I purchased my supplies in bulk from  Silver City Beads on etsy so I have around $10 invested in each necklace. They can be made for less if you forgo the sterling. Other supplies included beads, charms, 4mm and 6mm jump rings. This is a great stash busting project if you are already into jewelry making or beading. Adding a bead to your necklace is a great way to use up
