Love the butterfly necklace! You look great in the orange sweater and white shorts and you've got killer legs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-n-dirty-diy-3d-butterfly-pendant#post-664033 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 01:14:01 +0000 Jilly 664033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that idea, Rae! Now I'll have to go to the dollar store to see what I can find.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-n-dirty-diy-3d-butterfly-pendant#post-663896 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 19:15:47 +0000 biscuitsmom 663896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SO cool! Looks very pretty.... may I make a suggestion? Instead of using clear nail polish (which will crack/peel eventually) what about using clear wrapping tape or even Scotch tape that will permanently stick and is easy to cut? Just an idea </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-n-dirty-diy-3d-butterfly-pendant#post-663880 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 18:34:08 +0000 JulieJohn 663880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wait - is it DIY month already? My how the year flies by. (just goofin)</p> <p>Rae, you look foxy in that outfit - great legs! I love the necklace too, it is very nifty. I so love the partial tuck. You might add a butterfly collector net as an optional accessory. Sorry, I'm in a silly mood. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-n-dirty-diy-3d-butterfly-pendant#post-663873 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 18:27:25 +0000 Kiwichik 663873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Clever &amp; cute idea for a pendant.

Hope you don't mind if I try this with my DD. She'll love it too. </p> <p>Loving the topsiders. I decided I had metallic loafers so I got these instead (on sale at Piperlime)<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Sperry-Top-Sider-Womens-Southampton-Sandal/dp/B00792G862" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Sperry-T.....B00792G862</a><br /> But sadly the metallic finish wore off the first time I wore them (and they were very comfy) so I returned them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-n-dirty-diy-3d-butterfly-pendant#post-663565 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 00:45:36 +0000 JR 663565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a creative idea!

Love it!</p> <p>And the outfit is fab too. I'm crazy about your metallic boat shoes and now I want a pair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-n-dirty-diy-3d-butterfly-pendant#post-663545 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 23:14:49 +0000 rae 663545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Indeed it does, and indeed it is! Woohoo, sweater twins! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-n-dirty-diy-3d-butterfly-pendant#post-663542 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 23:08:57 +0000 catgirl 663542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I just realized I own that exact same j. crew sweater. Does it have cables and is it 100% linen? I even have it in the same color, and I thrifted it a couple of years ago... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-n-dirty-diy-3d-butterfly-pendant#post-663521 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 22:42:57 +0000 Lyn D. 663521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, a very clever way to create a lovely unique necklace, and it looks great with your outfit! I love the orange top with the army jacket colour combo. too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-n-dirty-diy-3d-butterfly-pendant#post-663518 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 22:34:34 +0000 rae 663518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today's outfit was pretty much built around a set of 3D butterfly stickers I found at a locally-owned dollar store. They were meant for scrap-booking but, since I don't own a scrap book, I was determined to turn them into something else I could use and admire - as per usual, I wanted something I could *wear.* </p> <p>It's a super cheap and easy process, and it won't stand the test of time or grabby toddlers, but I am quite happy with the result. </p> <p>1) Select 3D butterfly sticker.</p> <p>2) (Optional) Cut off the holographic foil portions of the butterfly sticker. I left this part on for the first pendant I made, then cut it off for the second, and I think I prefer the look of it *without* the foil.</p> <p>3) Stick the butterfly onto clear plastic front of sticker package. </p> <p>4) Snip off the portion of packaging with your butterfly so it is small enough to accommodate a hole punch. Punch a hole in the plastic where you'd like to attach a jump ring later. </p> <p>5) Cut out the plastic in the shape of your butterfly. Make sure to cut just a smidge larger than the butterfly so that you have a thin, clear border. This will help keep the sticker from curling up at the sides when you handle the pendant. </p> <p>6) Coat the bottom layer with clear nail polish. This will help keep the sticker attached to the plastic and prevent it from peeling off. </p> <p>7) Attach your jump ring and slide the new pendant onto a necklace!</p> <p>The outfit:<br /> Gap army jacket - swap meet<br /> J. Crew linen sweater - swap meet<br /> Faded orange/peach shorts - swap meet<br /> Men's belt - swap meet<br /> B. Makowsky rebel crossbody - Ebay<br /> Sperry Topsider boat shoes - swap meet (hubs nabbed these for me since he liked my pewter ones so much!) </p>
