A cool way to make a brand-new necklace for free! All you need is a old gift/credit card. And some creativity. ;) I think these are a perfect alternative to 'shrinky dinks' ...NO MELTING, & NO $$!!! Here, ill show you u how to make 2 necklaces...a bat & vampire teeth. :)

Instructions

1. 

   Pick a simple picture you like, & draw it onto your gift card in pencil. For bigger designs, i use those big iTunes cards.

2. 

   Cut out design by outline.

3. 

   **OPTIONAL** Add more depth to your design, with hot-glue-gun. . On teeth, I added thick globs where the blood would be (see next pic). On Bat, I put globs where the veins & body are. ...once that dried, i added another dot glob on the face for a 'snout'.

4. 

   Use arylic paint to color your design! Make it realistic or abstract, whatever you want! (see i painted the glue globs a different color)

5. 

   Paint the back a solid color also....this all might take a few coats of paint, to cover the words on the card. . (Be careful after painting, bc it scratches off easily!)

6. 

   (Heres a pic to show the depth the glue made) :)

7. 

   Once it looks good, take it outside & spray-seal it on both sides (according to spray instructions).

8. 

   **OPTIONAL** + Add some rhinestones with super glue! (u could do a whole necklace in just rhinestones if u want!!)

9. 

   Heat a safety pin, & make holes thru plastic in top corners. Then add jump rings. . I also added a jumpring at bottom of one tooth, to add a red "blood drop" bead (which is on a headpin). Add jumprings to the bat as well.

10. 

    String some cord thru the rings, & add a necklace clasp.

11. 

    Put it on & Rock It!! . Try making any image you want, & share your results!(maybe Hello Kitty or butterfly maybe?) . (these necklaces actually owned by 'GryffindorGrl', my partner in the Goth Swap) :D
