Pin It!



Well another brainstorm came my way. I was at the Home Depot and thought …What can I do with a washer? I bet you will be running out to the hardware store tonight. Check it out!

Too cute or should I say pretty... Thinking of making one of the PBS Swappers Weekly Challenges out of your technique here Christie. Thanks for sharing!

Yes All beautiful,

Have you tried Loc Washers--not as much surface, but a different dimension.

These are gorgeous! I'm thinking they would be a pretty mobile, kept out of reach of course! But what a pretty and dimensional mobile it would make!

Cool idea :) TFS

Great idea!!! I too love playing with alcohol inks and you just gave me a new medium on which to pounce! Thanks so much!

Very cool idea! Can't wait to see what you create with these

Christie, These are beautiful and what a great way to be able to paint the washers. I made a bracelet with washers and painted some of them with alcohol inks but I had a heck of a time doing that. Your tut would have helped me. I think I'll try what you did and also add some stickles. Thanks. If you'd like to see my bracelet, it's at http://www.bloombakecreate.com/2010/02/one-ufo-sighted-and-finished/

Great idea! I'm thinking up some great combos already and ways to use them. Thanks for the idea and inspiration!

Darla June 8, 2010 at 9:29 PM  

Wow!! Wonderful idea!!
btw... why the magnets on your stickles??? how do you store those?

Jill June 8, 2010 at 10:52 PM  

These are so cool, Christie. I had to jump on Joanne.com and order me some alcohol inks. This is the second thing I saw on your blog that I just gotta get. The other one was those containers you used for your chipboard letters. I thought they might work great for things like brads and buckles and such, so I had to order me some of those too...lol! They would probably be great for these washers too. Thank you so much for all these neat ideas!

Jill...:-)

Don't you just ADORE alcohol inks? I know, I do!
looks lovely!

I have little ones, and I think the large washer would make great tokens (earn 10 tokens for good behavior, get a prize), play money, practice lacing, glue a flower on one side and a magnet on the other, or make beautiful musical instruments (I've seen wind chimes, castinets, tambourines, and shakers using washers.

A brilliant idea and a super effect

Christy June 11, 2010 at 9:38 AM  

Nice idea, how well do these hold up, say if i were to use them for jewlery? should i coat them with something. this also gave me an idea to use my epoxy resin to color the metals.

Here's the end resultwith a link back to your site. Thanks for sharing!
