Recycled Can Lid Necklace

Well I have this idea and another in my head for awhile, so when Fawnda from Fireflies and Jellybeans announced a competition for the Iron Crafter using recyced cans, I knew I must enter.

 Lets get started!!
First I took the lids off using a borrowed pampered chef can opener.  They take the complete lid off leaving no sharp edges. 

Next I make a hole at the top so I could turn it into a necklace.

Then I planned how I wanted to decorate the inside of the lid.  I thought of it like I was scrapbooking.  Then I put the base paper which was a brown paper with pink dots.  I glued it all down with mod podge.  I carefully made the hole in my paper to match the lid and re-inserted the nail to keep the hole clear.  I put judkins diamond glaze on top and let dry.  When it is dry remove the nail and string and bead.

I really wanted to have another entry for this competition but I doubt I will have the time. Maybe it will be a future post.
