Easy gift idea: Circle Pendants

I hope everyone reading this had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. With everything going on last week I didn't get much stamping/crafting done. But I did make these cute little pendants and thought I'd share a photo.

I bought the pendants at a rubber stamp show a year or so ago. I have a bad habit of buying (or should I say "collecting") supplies and then never using them. I usually put them away and forget that I have them.

Anyway, I came across these the other day and thought, "I really should use those." So I pulled out some scraps of paper I have stashed away for collages (another project I plan to do some day) and found images that would fit. I punched them out using a 5/8" circle punch and glued them inside the pendants. Then I filled the well of the pendants with Glossy Accents (from Ranger). I let them dry overnight and then strung them on a ball chain. They seemed a little plain, so I added some bits of ribbon. I think these would also look cute strung on ribbon with some beads.

These are so easy and would make perfect little gifts for the holidays. Hmmmm, let's see that gift list.
