Leave it to you, Emi to make something SO FABULOUS from cardboard, white school glue and paint!! You are the queen of inexpensive DIY, thank you so much for sharing this. They really DO look like metal!!

You are the best! I love your pieces. So easy and stylish.

[@CraftyComeLately]

I really love all your tutorials that I've seen so far. I love that you use no special tools, explain it so easy and make it really economical. I followed your cardboard charm with paperclip tutorial and made a few Paris themed and a few others for a mini album I'm making. Now I don't have to buy a Paris charm :) And I'm not even into jewelry making but I'm totally going to make this one!!

[@kristenblack3930]

This looks like a good one for kids! Thanks for sharing!

[@dorothygears1349]

Thank you! Great handmade ideas.You don't waste any movements, and I love your voice and syntax!

[@paulinejamez]

Brilliant! Thankyou :)

[@michelemyankazt6657]

You are majorly talented. Thank you for sharing your ideas.

[@Hectanooga1]

It's very forgiving... you can paint it before or after applying the glue and allowing the glue to dry.Sometimes I make a sheet of tops, then I start gluing layers of cereal box together, and other times I make the pendants first, by gluing all the layers together, and then proceeding from there. (And sometimes I have 4 or 5 layers of cereal boxes, the whole front of boxes for instance together, then I have a full sheet, and can cut out pendants as needed and paint or use as needed.

[@anymeyer4980]

It's awesome and great and easy and beautiful!

[@labluegypsy]

You're Amazing! this is perfect for a project I'm working on, Thanks for sharing this

[@carmenroupp653]

these are wonderful

[@jleonrdec]

PRECIOSO!! MUCHISIMAS GRACIAS!! UN ABRAZO DESDE DINAMARCA JUANITA LEÓN

[@susiepeterson-lalonde4197]

Yes, these are super cool! I agree with so many of the other comments on these. I think the technique using the Aileens glue holding the wet piece into a candle and wiping the soot off would be great for these pendants as well. (it makes a beautiful metallic finish) but your technique is more "kid friendly" and really is a lot easier and just as beautiful. Glazing them with some waterproof gloss would be awesome as well. But I am sure there are so many other things that could be done to these or not! They are quite lovely as is. Thanks again as I've stated before I adore your videos and your crafts made from things that cost nothing or near nothing.

[@Hectanooga1]

Thanks!!

[@sharonsmith9810]

Thanks I love your videos and ideas!

[@stephanidebruin5209]

Love them

[@isidrocarmona4965]

Every thing look good, I like every thing you do people,good job

[@Hectanooga1]

Thanks Isidro!

[@Hectanooga1]

Thanks Mrsjamieb73!! In reality, they really do look like metal too!!

[@Hectanooga1]

Yes, you have to glue them together to get the thickness so they will be stiff.

[@yusrainam741]

Very Creative idea.

[@Hectanooga1]

Thanks!!

[@Itacafdh]

Great! So good idea. I'll try. Thanks for share your real flair. Regards from Spain :)

[@GailGriffinPurpleHuesandMe]

I love all of your inspirational videos! Your techniques come across as being so simple to do, and I've tried out a few! Thanks so much! But did I miss a step when you started to apply the glue to the black circle? Was it painted after you glued all the circles together and let dry?

[@lauras211233]

Gracias Emi. Eres maravillosa. Besos

[@inmaaa3588]

Great!,!

[@123thebasics]

Thank you....I love this idea. I tried putting the glue design on before painting like one of the templets showing in the video,but the glue dried into the cardboard . Is it best to paint first then make the design to avoid this?

[@zoilarivera8866]

Great video....thank you :)

[@JenEvers]

Thanks for Kris for commenting on this video so it came up in my feed. I'm subscribing, this is an awesome video!! Love the quick explanation, clear directions. Awesome! tfs xoxo Jen

[@nievesmartin2079]

muy chulo

[@Hectanooga1]

Yes, I have used the tape method... I find it finicky.. so usually I just save all my nozzle bottles from various glue and paint containers... but just in case people didn't have those, I used the toothpick method. It's more time consuming, but pretty much everyone can find a toothpick, or a pencil tip to apply the lines. (But a small nozzle container works best!!)

[@trish3724]

amazing

[@magicaldiva]

you are my favourite lady on youtube :)

[@nicolettanarcisi1962]

Great!!!Thanx!!! ;)

[@cutecharms4ver]

Great idea :). Tfs

[@Hectanooga1]

Yes,you can use mod podge.

[@Froogyification]

You can use tin, a lot more realistic as well.

[@Neferkit1]

I love these! You are so cool! :-)

[@Hectanooga1]

I just used acrylic paint, it's called crafter's acrylic, and you can buy it anywhere.. Walmart, Michaels, Dollar Store. Nothing fancy. And you should also be able to use it for polymer clay as well.

[@jdorosco1857]

You come up with such interesting stuff. Thanks for sharing :-)

[@Hectanooga1]

It's optional for this one, if you want it really shiny, you can add nail polish, but if you don't, it looks like brushed metal as the metallic paint has a bit of sheen.

[@paulandreferreira]

Very nice tutorials...thanks a lot to share and teach us those beautiful things - go ahead! :)

[@Hectanooga1]

paulandreferreira Thank you paula!!

[@paulandreferreira]

I'm Paul, a boy... :/

[@Hectanooga1]

paulandreferreira Well, thank you for watching Paul!!!

[@paulandreferreira]

:)

[@ThePADeb]

Thesae are very pretty!!! I was wondering if you have ever tried to use tape on the glue bottle to make the tip give a finer line (instead of using the toothpick)? I figured you have probably tried different ways, but just curious if the toothpick way worked best for you? :-) Tfs!!! :-)

[@jamiecee4960]

Can you use mod podge for these pendents?

[@bestillnow100]

Love it, but what colors did you use to paint your heart shape pendant? I will be waiting to hear from you.

[@Hectanooga1]

If you varnish carefully, several times.

[@heidiwilkes1]

Absolutely gorgeous and I really want to make them myself!! I'm wondering if I'm hearing things or did they actually sound like metal smacking the table when she dropped it back down? Are you supposed to glue all 4 pieces of cardboard together? I'm really confused, so kudos to everyone who caught on better than me ;) ------Oh jeez, I just realized someone else asked about the glue, silly me lol!!!--------

[@Hectanooga1]

Hi Lura! Yes, they actually sound like metal... they are very hard... and yes, glue all 4 layers of cardboard together... they will be as hard as wood once the glue is cured... which can take a few days. (And you can actually sand the edges after they are finished if your edges are not really even.) Have fun making these, and I hope it gives you lots and lots of ideas of all the other things you can make with cardboard!! Emi

[@heidiwilkes1]

Awww, thank you SO MUCH for replying and I can't wait to get started :D thanks for teaching me!! You have amazing talent!

[@olgamul5761]

Super!!!😍😚🙋💖👍✌👏🍀🌻🌼🌹🌺

[@Queenofdamned13]

Love your vid's!!! Q. Do you seal it with anything?.....If so what did you use?.....Thanks! 😁

[@Hectanooga1]

I usually use diamond finish varnish, or clear nail polish.

[@blackbeauty5479]

Can you use nail polish instead of acrylic paint? GREAT video...thank you so much. I really love ALL your ideas.

[@Hectanooga1]

Yes, you can use nail polish instead of acrylic paint Kisha!

[@blackbeauty5479]

Thanks so much you are awesome by the way!!!!

[@dharadaya5659]

nice is that water proof

[@angelamarshall1819]

Hi, Emmi I just want to know do you varnish the pendents??

[@Hectanooga1]

Yes, I do... you can use: acrylic varnish, or clear nail polish, or mod podge.

[@jamiecee4960]

Ok, thank you. :)

[@luvneternal]

You said you used four cardboards circles, did you glue them together?

[@chelsieboyd861]

I was wondering if there is a certain type of acrylic paint you have to use for this. Also I am wanting to use acrylic paint to paint polymer clay and was wondering if there is a certain type of acrylic paint for that to and if I could use the same type of acrylic paint for both? Thanks so much!

[@felipec81]

they're nice, and maybe you should extract the metal that comes in the cereal and use that also. lol

[@angiso33]

cute...

[@amomschoice]

Could u use permanent marker instead of paint over glue?

[@JollyRose143]

Does it stain the clothes? Thanks for sharing

[@Hectanooga1]

Not at all. it does not stain clothing. (Sorry about the delay in answering, just found your comment.)

[@2003desiree]

[@suoppsdn9751]

I guess you could use aluminum foil if you want it shinier

[@shirleya.mossbroooks9079]

are these waterproof?

[@Hectanooga1]

Shirley A. Mossbroooks They are water resistant, but I wouldn't wear them swimming.

[@Crazyflowereater]

I will never throw away cereal boxes again!
