Clearly, This is Love...? AMAZING tutorial by Rachel Whetzel

Last month, I shared the Necklace Piece that I made with Amazing Mold Putty, Scrabble Tiles, and Amazing Clear Cast Resin. I mentioned that I made my mold with some of the tiles facing the opposite direction as I wanted them for THAT project, because I was working on a second project with the same mold. Today, I'm going to show you that SECOND project! 

To create your piece like this, you'll need the following: 

• Scrabble tiles that form a word

• A cool piece of art work for the back of your tile (I used vintage dictionary pages) 

• Crafter's Pick the Ultimate Glue (or whatever your favorite is) 

• Amazing Mold Putty

• Amazing Clear Cast Resin

Let's get started! First, choose some scrabble pieces to use... I am using tiles that spell "LOVE".

Mix equal parts of Amazing Mold Putty and prepare it for molding. Next, place the pieces for this project letter side down in your mold, and let the mold set. I pushed my pieces in deep to make my cast pieces thicker. Please CLICK HERE for more detailed instructions.

Once your mold is set, mix Amazing Clear Cast Resin in equal parts, and pour into your mold. Let it set up before removing the pieces. You can see the letter "L" in the top right corner of the mold in this picture. Please CLICK HERE for more detailed instructions on mixing and preparing Amazing Clear Cast Resin.

Once your resin has cured, pop out your pieces, and use paint to fill in the lettering of your tiles. Then back them with your photo or paper. 

I chose to use the definitions of words that describe LOVE to back my letters. 

Then I coated both sides of the tiles with more

Amazing Clear Cast Resin to create a shiny, clear tile. 

I'll be using these on a mixed media piece for sure!!

I love this new twist on the scrabble tile idea! 

Can you think of other things YOU would

do with clear scrabble tiles?

Amazing Scrabble Piece Necklace... by Rachel Whetzel

Hello!! It's Rachel! Here to share with you my idea to use Scrabble Tiles to create a clear square to make necklace pieces with! 

To create your piece like this, you'll need the following: 

•  A scrabble tile

•  A cool piece of art work for the back of your tile

•  Crafter's Pick the Ultimate Glue (or whatever your favorite is) 

•  Amazing Mold Putty

•  Amazing Clear Cast Resin

•  Jewelry making bits 

Let's get started! First, choose some scrabble pieces to use... I have another project to try, so I choose the letters I wanted for that project, and two tiles for this project. 

Mix equal parts Amazing Mold Putty and prepare it for molding. Next, place the pieces for this project letter side up in your mold, and let the mold set. I pushed my pieces in deep to make my cast pieces thicker.

Once your mold is set, mix Amazing Clear Cast Resin in equal parts, and pour into your mold. Let it set up before removing the pieces.

When your pieces are finished, you'll notice that one side is more shiny than the other. Don't worry about this, because in the end, it won't matter. Sand down the edges of your piece, and prepare it for glue. 

Find a cool piece of art work, and glue your piece to it. I used a page from Gauche Alchemy's Ephemera Variety pack. 

Once your glue is dry, mix a very tiny amount of Amazing Clear Cast Resin and use a Qtip to apply a layer over your cube. I made myself a mat with Amazing Mold Putty to keep any drips from sticking to the surface my piece was curing on. 

I applied Amazing Clear Cast Resin to both sides, (allowing cure time for both sides) to help make my piece water proof. Remember the mention of the cloudy cure above? To avoid that on your finished piece, make sure that all your resin cures with air touching it. The cloudy finish of a cast is happens only on areas that are touching a surface while they cure. Covering your piece one side at a time, will create a piece with a glossy finish on all sides. It also makes your piece WATER PROOF! 

I used more Amazing Clear Cast Resin to set my jewelry onto my piece, and hung it all on some ball chain. 

If you create something inspired by my project, please leave a comment with a link here, so I can come and visit to see! I would love for you to visit me at my "house" too!! Thank you so much for reading!! ~ rachel 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
