MATERIALS:
Stazon Jet Black Ink
Prismacolor Pencils in Carmine Red, Scarlet Lake,
Tuscan Red and Poppy Red
Black Sharpie
Chipboard (I upcycled a cereal box)
Manual Die Cut Machine
White Glue—I used Tombow MONO Adhesive
Small Hole Punch
2 Large Jump Rings
Jewelry Pliers
Blue Hemp
Assorted Beads and Pearls
Clasp
DIRECTIONS:
1) Place the coral stamp on the acrylic handle
and stamp on white mixed media paper using the Stazon.
2) Cut
the image out, using the manual die cut machine and the coral die.
3) Using
the coral die, cut an additional piece from the mixed media paper and 3 pieces
from the chipboard.
4) Color
the stamped image, making lots of layers and variations in colors.
5) Use
the small hole punch to create holes on both sides of one of the chipboard
pieces. If the holes turn out in the
right place, you will use this as a template.
Otherwise, punch a different piece to create the template.
6) Using
the punched chipboard, punch holes in the same place on all the pieces.
7) Use
the black sharpie to color the edges of all of the pieces.
8) Line
up the pieces and glue them together.
9) Use
the Versamark Pen on the edges of the piece.
10) Cover the edges with black embossing
powder and heat emboss.
11) Cover the top of the piece with ink by
tapping it on the Versamark Ink Pad.
12) Cover piece with clear embossing powder
and heat emboss.
13) Repeat steps 11 and 12 until you love
the coral piece.
14) Place the jump rings into the
holes. You will use the pliers to open
and close the rings by twisting them sideways.
Do not open them by pulling them apart at the cut.
15) Tie the middle of a very long string of
hemp around a jump ring. You will need
at least 3 times the length you want it to end up.
16) Lay the coral high up on the table
facing you.
17) Lay one string on a table straight down
towards you.
18) With the other string, create a triangle
whose tail crosses the other string. It
should look like the number 4.
19) Pull the tail of the 4 under the first
string and through the triangle. Pull
tight.
20) Repeat steps 17-19, adding a bead on the
main string whenever you think it looks appropriate.
21) When the finished cord reaches about
half of the total length you would like, tie on the clasp with both strings.
22) Cut off the extra hemp.
23) Repeat steps 17-22 with the other side.
