Crafting Summer Fun
June Designer Connections Blog Hop: Patriotic Necklace
Summer is the best time for crafting outdoors. Your craft projects should be manageable so you are not using a suitcase to haul your craft supplies from your craft space to your patio. Look for projects that are portable, can be easily created, and still maintain the high-quality results that you desire.
This patriotic jewelry necklace is perfect for that alfresco-crafting experience because it meets all of the above criteria. There are a few supplies needed, it’s fast and easy to make, and the results are chic. There are times when crafters will use double-stick tape to create rosettes like the ones in this necklace. I use Aleene’s® Original Tacky Glue®, from ILoveToCreate™ because it gives the rosette strength and provides a strong bond. Yes, the people from I Love To Create™ do provide me with Aleene’s® Original Tacky Glue® for my projects, but I do purchase this glue for my personal projects and for my Mom’s house. This is my “go-to” glue for paper crafting.
