Club ScrapLock & Key Blog Hop

Welcome to our monthly 
Blog Hop to share with you
the artwork you can make with the monthly kit.
This month the kit is called Lock & Key.

I hope you have  arrived here from Tricia's Blog
with  her inspirational creativity. If you lose your way
you can always go back to the 
with all the participants.
As I have been away this month to the US
for the Club Scrap Retreat in Wisconsin,
I did not have time to make some elaborate projects,
but with Club Scrap's beautiful paper
that is not a problem.
So I made this simple scrapbook page for
the weekly chronicles (as I have fallen behind).

With this page I do not follow any theme,
but week 42 is all about the being at the Retreat!

I did however come up with a little project.
This is inspired by something I noticed
in the Botanic Gardenshop that I visited
on my last day in Chicago.
It is a necklace made out of paper rolls.
I can do this, I thought and here is 
my result:
I took 5 pieces of paper 2,5 x 2,5 inch,
bookbinding glue,a foam brush and
a brush with a handle that is not to thick
toroll the paper around.

Next you take one square of paper. First roll it a few
 times around the handle of the brush you choose.
Add a little glue at the end and roll it tight and close.

Do this with all pieces of paper.
Take a needle or something sharp to 
make a hole through the middle
of all the paper beads (not to thin).

Take some wire, make a loop in the midde of the wire first
and thread it through the paper beads. I then glued
the beads together. You can decorate it with some extra glass beads.
I use also a piece of the lace that came with the kit fordecoration.
Constructed the wire around the beads and added a key
at the bottom of the pendant.

I used a piece of leather to hang it from.
It came out pretty neat and it is fun to wear too.
I just tie it around my neck with a bow.

Next you will be wonderfully surprised
She always finds the cutes projects for you.

Hope to see you again for next month
blog hop when the Fire and Ice collection
is out and about.
Have fun hopping around!


Have a creative day!

My heavens--that is SO cool, Hetty! I want to drop everything and go make one, too! Out of every kit from 2013! I will be very cool in the Fire & Ice colors, too! Way to hit a home run on this idea, Hetty.

Love the layout! It's fun to have a layout right away when you get home. The jewelry is so pretty, too. I just don't seem to think that way, so I am in awe of those who can make beautiful jewelry.
