Chain reaction!

One of my grandsons stayed over for the weekend and he knows the 'crafty' nanny that I am! His favourite fruit drink is J2O and after the cap was removed from the bottle, I had an idea! *Ting*. "Why don't we make something with the cap", I suggested. He was all for it! So, first, I made 2 holes with my eyelet setter and hammer.
We looked through my box of miscellaneous metal bits and bobs and found this ball chain. Check out your hardware store. They sell it by the metre/yard. B&Q and the big stores sell it too.

Then I thought we could fill the back with UTEE (Ultra Thick Embossing Powder). Cameron wanted it to be gold, so I mixed some gold embossing powder with the UTEE. I don't have a melting pan, so I placed the powder in a metal food tray, (the sort your takeaway curry comes in) and used my heat gun to melt the powder - from underneath the tray. Once it had melted, I poured it into the cap - being careful as it was very hot at this stage.
Then I used my tiny alpha stamps to stamp his initials on the UTEE (had them years and never used them!) I used a black StazOn ink pad.
Next, I threaded the chain through the holes.

Voila.....simple pleasures.
Cameron loves his J2O neckchain....and there isn't another one like it in the whole wide world!

Happy crafting.
