Jewelry Theme for Designer Craft Connection

The Designer Craft Connection Blog Hop is all about quick and easy jewelry this month!  So I thought I would get out my  Cool2Cast again and create some quick and easy jewelry.  I love how easy Tiffany Windsor makes it looks when she demo's it on Cool2Craft you would never think that is was a fiber plaster....

 I got out my package of Cool2Cast 
a measuring cup, water and
a plastic zip lock bag.

 I measured the Cool2Cast and water
into the zip lock bag.

Mixed to to a pancake like batter...

 I poured it into molds...


 It only took about an hour
for the Cool2Cast to set...



 Then I popped them out of the molds.


I sanded down the edges just a bit;
Then I got out crayons, inks, paints and stamps
it was so quick and easy to color them...

 then I added dimensional glaze on the top,


 let that dry and added some glaze to the sides...


then I glued them to a bail and placed them on a
pre-made ribbon necklace for quick and easy
jewelry pieces!
