MockingJay Necklace

I know, i'm awesome you don't have to tell me. What's that? I'm not awesome? Well i'm going to hunt you down and kick your ass prove you wrong. I recently started reading the hunger games (Don't mean to be a hipster, but i'd heard of it way before the movie came out. Although that does look amazing!) and i fell in love with the cover. And the book, but mainly the cover. I love the idea of the MockingJay so i decided to make my own brooch/necklace. I haven't decided which yet, but i think i might make it both! In the course of writing this DIY out, i decided to make it into both.

Ingredients:
- Shrinky Dink
- Hunger Games book or a template
- An X-Acto knife
- Paint/Nail Varnish
- 2 Pairs of pliers
- Chain (If you want a necklace)
- Brooch Back (If you want a brooch)
- Pencil
- Jump Ring (If you want a necklace)




Jumping on the bandwagon'

Interchangeable Necklaces

I love to match my jewelerry to my outfit. I thought this necklace was cute, so i then though, why not make more of them? Make them interchangeable! I made three different colours, pink, blue and green.

Ingredients:
- Chain
- Fimo (Three or more colours)
- Round object to draw around or cut with
- Two pairs of pliers
- Three jump rings (Or however many peices you've made)
- Push pin
- Lobster clasps (Optional)

Impulsive

That title just completely describes my mood as i wake up this morning. I just impulsively (Eh? Post title and big word, right there) made a rugby ball/american football necklace. I woke up with the idea (And the realization that i'm in love with Rizzle Kicks), so here's my first real tutorial:

Ingredients (Or as some people would call it, Equipment):
- A cutting mat
- An X-Acto knife
- Some Fimo
- 2 Pairs of pliers
- Some tinfoil
- An oven device
- A pencil
- Some paper
- A push pin
- A jump ring
- Some Nail varnish (Or another painting device)
