Washer Anklets...

I found a great tutorial here on how to make anklets. When I saw it, I wondered how they would look using small washers dressed up with scrapbook paper (like with the Washer Necklace tutorial from The Creative Crate.)

I ended up using 1/4" washers, and they were the perfect size. Now we have matching washer necklaces and anklets!
I did a few things differently than the tutorial.

**I added beads to each side of the washer. To keep them in place, I put a knot at the end of each bead.
**I cut my hemp cord just over 10" to compensate for knotting the end of the beads.
**I assembled the anklet first before attaching the end clamps.

This was a fun little project! These would be great for birthday and Christmas gifts! We'll definitely be making more!

Washer Necklaces...

I saw this idea on The Creative Crate and immediately went to a hardware store near my home to get some washers. Let me say, these become very addicting!



A few changes we made to the instructions were:
**we used Mod Podge to glue the paper onto the washers. Once they were dry we put a top coat of Mod Podge on the paper.
**we used Aleene's Paper Glaze (I got it at Michael's) instead of Diamond Glaze.

They turned out great! My girls absolutely love them and can't wait to make more!
