Club ScrapLock & Key Blog Hop

Welcome to our monthly 

Club Scrap

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 

Club Scrap Create Blog

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.
