Metamorphosis at its Best!

Ah, butterflies! They are so delicate, so gentle and so beautiful but the most interesting thing about them, in my opinion, is that they morph from a caterpillar to this gorgeous, thing of beauty.  I've morphed this butterfly into a key chain using Soda Pop Tops.  Yesterday I posted how I smashed them in the Big Shot to create a flatter version, great for cards and 3D projects.   Below I've listed some tips to make your own key chains or even necklaces.

• After your Soda Pop Top is smashed, use the 1/16" circle handheld punch and punch a hole between the notches and attach a jump ring.  
• 5" of chain, attached a connector to it.  (This is the same chain and connectors used on ceiling fan pulls)
• I stamped and punched the images as shown and attached them with a generous amount of SNAIL adhesive.
• Add Crystal Effects to the entire center, filling it but not allowing it to overflow from the sides. I also added a dab to the jump ring to seal the connection of the two ends.  
• Allow to dry for about 1-2 hours.
