Spring has Sprung with Fancy Flowers... AMAZING Inspiration from Melony Miller Bradley our Featured Artist for March

Hello Amazing Creatives! Today we have some "SPRINGTIME" inspiration from our Featured Artist Melony Miller Bradley using Amazing Crafting Products. Melony has created a set of fanciful napking rings - ready for the new season ahead.

Fancy Flowers Napkin Rings

I love creating custom tableware such as linens, tablecloths and napkin rings. Spring has been a long time coming this year so I was inspired to create these napkin rings using Amazing Mold Putty, Amazing Casting/Clear Cast Resins and Alumilite Metallic Powders.

I used a mold provided by a friend, dusted with Alumilite Metallic Powders, then filled with Amazing Casting Resin to create the flower used in this design. Then I used Amazing Clear Cast Resin to create a clear coating for the front. I mounted it on a wood napkin ring and used a rub on sentiment on the resin.

A perfect set ready to serve

Sunday Brunch in the garden!

#Cre8time for FURbabies! Cheap and Easy Springy Dog Collar by Tanya Ruffin

Spring has sprung, but in Louisiana we usually have 2 seasons, Winter and Summer... So Spring to me means Summer is on it's way. I just returned from a cruise and beautiful tropical flowers were everywhere. This collar reminds of Jamaica and summer (and another cruise). The project was very cheap and easy to make. I think I will start on a Halloween collar too!

I used Amazing Crafting Products and dollar store items!

Materials:

Flower ice cube tray
Dog collar
Amazing Casting Resin
Alumilite Violet Dye
4 Brads
Hole Punch - I used a Crop-A-Dile
E6000®

Cheap project. Cost $2.00 cash and supplies on hand!

Steps:

The first thing I did was take my collar out of the package and decide where I wanted the flowers to go. I marked the collar with a pen and punched holes using a Crop-A-Dile.

I then put E6000® on a Q-tip and ran it through

and around each hole so the collar wouldn't fray.

The collar was woven and would start to unravel if I skipped this step.

The next step is to pour your resin. I mixed some Alumilite Violet Dye with the Amazing Casting Resin to get a light purple {CLICK HERE to view how to prepare/mix resin}. Then pour the resin into the ice cube tray. As it is just about to set up I place my brads in, letting them sink in a little – but not so much that they fall to the bottom of the tray.

After the resin sets up, I mixed up some more Amazing Casting Resin – this time leaving it white, then pour another layer of resin into each mold. I only pour enough to cover the bottom of the brads, so they are sealed in.

You can see the second layer curing.

When completely cured (about 20 minutes),

pop out your pieces and attach to the collar.

How Stinking Adorable is This?

Quick and easy project. The hardest part was trying to get one of my dogs to sit still long enough to get a photo! Two dogs (daddy and daughter) were used to get these photos. :)
