BLING IT ON - Altered Mini Altoid Tin Necklace

Over the summer, along with a group of friends, we shared an Altered Mini Altoid Tin swap...

"BLING IT ON" 

It was in June that Gail created this lovely altered mini Altoid tin necklace for me as a birthday gift

 

This group of friends, inspired by Gail's beautiful necklace decided to share a swap together.

Ironically I drew Gail's name for the swap and was delighted to create something back to her.

I had envisioned a pink and green sparkly, blingy, rhinestone beauty with some Victorian flair to it, but sadly none of my treasures would fit on the mini Altoid tin.

I scoured many flea markets and antique stores attempting to find smaller pink and green sparkly, blingy, rhinestone treasures, but none found and the swap due date was approaching.

After tearing the design apart FOUR times, and using what smaller findings I had, here is the altered mini Altoid tin necklace I created for Gail

I am excited to see the altered necklaces created by the other swappers!

I hope to have photos of them soon and will share them with you.

Hope your day is BLESSED -Tami
