Domino Pendants!

I always wanted to make these, but didn't want to use my set of ivory dominoes that I've had for years and then wasn't sure I wanted to buy a new set just for this if they didn't turn out. So my luck got really good when I was one of our local thrift stores had a set (well it was supposed to be 28 but there was only 21). They were only 79 cents!! I was looking for a scrabble game, which they didn't have, to make pendants with those too. I will be checking back or other thrifts stores. 

These are some I've done so far. Can't bring myself to leave the glitter alone, but they look better with it or at least they look better after I add it. I have some favorites, but still like them all. I just have to add the bails to them when I get some this weekend.


These are WIP.  The first one is covered with holographic tissue paper, the same stuff I use to make my holographic ATC's. Sp far all of these have some type of printed paper or image, scrapbook paper, printed images, tissue paper, origami paper or gift wrap paper. The black one is painted with black acrylic paint.

Can't wait to get the finishing parts and find some more dominoes! This seems to be addictive too, looking  forward to listing these in my shop.

Thanx kiddo, but I'm having the darnedest time finding the right bails for them and I don't want to drill holes!
