I’ve Got the Whole World in My Hand (and Around My Neck)

I LOVE to decoupage.  My standard line is that if my husband sat still for more than five minutes, I’d decoupage HIM.  Here are some pieces I made for myself, recently.

The bracelets are made from wooden tiles.  The first one is covered in pages of a vintage manual on fixing boilers! (Great diagrams!)  I added watch parts, crystals, wire, etc. It’s kind of steam punky.  I’ve gotten a lot of complements on this one!

    

 

The second bracelet is covered with vintage maps (mostly Africa) plus some crystal for bling. If I ever find myself lost in the Belgian Congo,  I’ll be able to find my way around.

 

The necklace is vintage maps decoupaged onto ping-pong balls.   I stuck to places I’ve visited, so Africa, Asia and Europe.    Now at least if someone is staring at my cleavage, he might actually learn something!

I had a very messy but fun time with these!
