The flower is my Grandmother's pendant. To give the box a glossy finish I used Rust-Oleum High Performance Enamel Paint. However it takes a long time to dry and I wasn't able to finish my craft in a day. The next time I want a glossy finish I will use the Craft Acrylic paint and then paint a  glaze over it to give it a glossy finish.
Jewelry Box
                                                                           Supplies:
Primer
Acrylic paint
Glaze
Old jewelry pendant
jewelry glue
paint brushes
sand paper
blue tape (optional)

Sand the box to smooth out any rough edges. Paint the box with a primer. let dry. Paint the inside of box. let dry. Paint the outside of box. If you do not have a steady hand you can use blue tape to tape the edges before you paint the outside of the box.

Magnet

Laminated Photo Magnet I like to use my laminator and I like photos. I have wanted to find creative ways to display favorite photos rather than displaying them in small frames. Here is my laminated photo magnet. Supplies: favorite photo card stock ribbon hole puncher *laminator laminate sheets circle magnet tacky glue    Cut photo to desired size. Cut card stock 1/4 inch larger than photo. Center photo onto card stock and glue. Then laminate it. Trim photo around the edge of card stock. Punch holes around the edge of card stock. Cut ribbon twice as long as diameter of laminated photo. Start at the top center of the laminated photo and weave ribbon in and out of holes. Tie a knot at the end and trim. Put a dab of tacky glue on the back of the magnet and then stick to back of laminated photo. Let is dry completely before using.
