Accented Accessories

    Make quick jewelry with these snappy fashions. Adorn a bracelet or ring with your favorite epoxy stickers. To make the button bracelet, back clear buttons with patterned paper and chipboard and then thread ribbon through the buttons.

A Matching Set

    Discover your inner crafter and turn accents and paper into wearable accessories. Adhere your favorite patterned paper between two acrylic embellishments (be sure to line up the predrilled holes in the acrylic) and add jewelry findings to create cute earrings or a pin. Applying rub-ons on top adds a layer of oomph.

Showstopping Necklaces

    Design a necklace for every outfit in a flash. Print digital elements or images on photo paper and adhere them to charm frames. Carefully fill the frames with dimensional adhesive, being careful not to work too fast to avoid bubbles. Allow several hours for them to dry. Complete the project by attaching cords from your local bead store to each.

Floral Beauties

    Flirty and feminine, these earrings are the perfect accessory for a day on the town or a special evening with friends. To get this look simply choose a favorite floral paper, cut around the pattern to fit the earring back, and adhere. Voila! A stunning accessory for any outfit.

Perfect Fit

    Can't choose just one favorite paper pattern? A charm bracelet is the perfect solution. Blank charms and acrylic circles pair perfectly. For this easy charm bracelet, glue the accents on the charms and attach them with jump rings.

Show Off Your Jewels

    It's easy to transform a photo frame into a suitably stylish home for your earrings. Simply take off the back panel of the frame opening and decoupage the front of the frame with your favorite patterned papers. Staple mesh wire to the back over the opening. After embellishing, hang the frame on the wall or prop it up on an easel.

Finding the craft instructions is impossible and very frustrating! I get your recipe instructions all the time and they are fine. I haven't been able to find the instructions for 'A Matching Set'. It's a waste of my time to even look at the craft options when the instructions are not available!

I don't get it. Are there supposed to be instructions? Or is this just a jewelry finding/kit you can find at any craft store?
