Memory Game Tile Into Fall Necklace

Materials:

• memory game
• paper
• paint and/or ink
• embellishments
• glue
• bead
• cord
   

Instructions:

1. Punch out the chipboard squares of the memory game.
    
2. Cut a piece of scrapbook paper to the same size as a memory game tile, and glue it to the front of the tile.
   
    
3. Dab a tiny bit of paint on a cotton ball (I used metallic copper); then blot the cotton ball on a paper towel to remove most of the paint. Rub the blotted cotton ball lightly across the surface of the paper. If you use a textured paper, the paint will appear mostly on the higher parts of the texture.
   
    
4. Give the pendant base an aged look by dabbing a cotton ball on a black or brown ink pad and applying it to parts of the paper.
   
    
5. To embellish my pendant, I used a plastic leaf button. The button had a loop on the back, which was easily removed with a pair of nail clippers.
   
    
6. Once the button was glued to the paper, I added a touch of copper paint and black ink to it as well, since the button also had a textured surface.
   
    
7. Glue a pony bead to the back side of the pendant. Use the bead to string the pendant onto a cord, and it's ready to wear!
