Classy Domino Charm

Charms, charms, and more charms. Recently, I participated in a charm swap as part of the ICE group hosted by Amber Dawn . Because of this, I have been focused on little things that can be changed or used as part of a charm. The other day I found a set of travel dominoes and brought them home to see what I could make with them. That same day my package of charms came which included two charms created from dominoes. How exciting! I decided to forget my "to do" list and instead work on my charms. I found that the dominoes, with the right materials, are super easy to use and are perfect for those of you looking for instant gratification (who isn't once in a while?) So, please follow along with me as I create my version of a domino charm. For this project you will need the following supplies:

  • Staz On ink pad
  • Alcohol based ink (I used Tim Holtz's Adirondack ink)
  • Stamps
  • Light colored dominoes
  • Drill press, unless dominoes are pre-drilled
  • Paper towels
  • Craft wire
  • Pliers
  • Wire cutters
Because this project is sure to spark your charm interest you will certainly want to visit the ICE group.

Better Late Than Never...

I finally got some dominos and made a necklace and earrings from the steps I learned in this podcast. Thanks for the great idea! http://smullis7.blogspot.com/2007/07/another-atc-completed.html
