Instructions

  1. Small 107319 2f2015 05 28 011417 sam 0196

    First gather all your supplies

  2. Small 107319 2f2015 05 28 012212 sam 0199

    First paint your gumball container. I used a squinky container since I had a lot sitting around my room. You can also use markers but it will came off.

  3. Small 107319 2f2015 05 28 012418 sam 0200

    After it was done drying I kinda used a marker to go back over it.

  4. Small 107319 2f2015 05 28 012502 sam 0201

    I then started to add the nail stickers to the outside for a little zest.

  5. Small 107319 2f2015 05 28 012538 sam 0203

    I also added glitter glue which takes awhile to dry but added it for more fun.

  6. Small 107319 2f2015 05 28 012708 sam 0210

    I then added a layer of school glue to the outside to make the nail polish chip off.

  7. Small 107319 2f2015 05 28 012817 sam 0211

    I made my own charm using a benderoo and cutting it into little pieces to make a cross.

  8. Small 107319 2f2015 05 28 012911 sam 0212

    I then added some nail decals which you can make out of poylmer clay if you search up 'polymer clay canes.' I bout mine at 'Clair's' or 'Justice'. Plus I also used my sticky tack which you use to put posters on your wall to keep the charms from moving everywhere you don't have to d this though. I did this because my hot glue gun wasn't working and I used the tack.

  9. Small 107319 2f2015 05 28 013319 sam 0214

    I then used a washable marker and y clear packaging and used my container as a guide to make a circle. I then cut it out.

  10. Small 107319 2f2015 05 28 013422 sam 0216

    I then started to cover the ridges with sticky tack but you can use hot glue.

  11. Small 107319 2f2015 05 28 013518 sam 0217

    Then I got this.

  12. Small 107319 2f2015 05 28 013606 sam 0218

    Make some holes in your container you can use a needle mine already had it since it was a squinkys container. Then grab your string or elastic to make a cord for the necklace. Then tie the ends.

  13. Small 107319 2f2015 05 28 013832 sam 0220

    Grab your paper or if you have mad computer skills to make some sort of awesome small quotes to stick in it put it in the top part of your container. then hot glue it in or use sticky tack. Then you are done.
