Art tiles and bottlecap charms

Hello everyone,

This time no card or layout but two types of embellisments that i made myself. I love the prima art tiles and bottlecapcharmes, but i think they are really expensive and when i saw them i thought that i could easily make them my self.

Here's the result:

For the art tiles i painted little wood squares white with acrylic paint ( thx to Peter my colleque at work who has sawn the little pieces with danger for his own fingers cause we have a large industrial saw at our company). After painting i glued a little piece of paper to it, and then stamped with small acrylic stamps. I distressed the edges with black sooth distress ink and than covered the whole square with glossy accents. After it dries it gives a real hard clear finish.

The bottlecapcharmes are made from simple beerbottlecaps wich my husband has spraypainted black en  drew little wholes in so that they can be attached to a chain, ribbon etc. Just as with the art tiles i put a little piece of designerpaper in and stamped it. On the right one i also put two spacers in as flowers. Put a layer of glossy accents in and you're done!

I really love how they turned out and will be making more in the future to put on my projects. I already  used 2 of the art tiles ( not on the picture ) on a layout of my daughter with the photo's on from our photoshoot that we did a few weeks ago with our good friend Monique. I will show it on my blog next time!

I hope you all have a nice day!
