The More, The Better

by Filed Under: Crafts, Glass Tile Necklaces

Rose and I made more tiles for Christmas gifts.  We’re hooked.
for Rose’s girlfriends
for Godmothers and other special women
the entire collection
Rose used a ball-chain necklace and black cord necklace for her friends.  I used a higher quality sterling silver chains that I found here for the Godmothers.  I used keychain rings for the St. Joseph tiles for the Godfathers (not pictured).
The paper weights were for our parish Priests and Rose’s choirmaster (2 paperweights are not shown).  I used the holy cards from our Priests’ first blessings and 25th Anniversary.  Rose selected a card with Gregorian chant for her choirmaster.
for nana and auntie
The top large medal was for Nana.  It is reversible with sis’s kids on the other side.  The bottom medal was for Auntie (Rose’s Nina).  It’s reversible with Our Lady of Guadalupe on the reverse side.

Our Newest Craft – Glass Tile

by Filed Under: Crafts, Glass Tile Necklaces

I’ve been working on some crafts-gifts.  I made these cute necklaces for my husband’s female co-workers.  I made key rings for the male co-workers (which I forgot to photograph).

These were my first attempts.
I purchased all of my supplies (aside from the paper) from this store and used this tutorial.
Rose and I have plans to make many more necklaces this week for gifts.  I hope to take pictures of them all.
