Name Tag Necklace for MOPS

I was searching Pinterest for ideas for a MOPS craft. Gotta love Pinterest. I found this tutorial for name tag necklaces. They are beautiful.

I decided to make them, only alter them a little. I loved the natural looking wood with the burnt edges, so I didn’t paint mine.

I used regular scotch tape to tape off the angled part where I want to put the glitter.

I painted a thin layer of Martha Stewart’s glitter glue on the tip of the feather. Make sure that you get every part covered, or you may have a bare spot on your feathers.

Sprinkle your glitter all over the feather tips. I decided to go with silver, gold, and a sort of rose gold color. Something for everyone.

Immediately take off the tape, being careful to not smudge your wet glue and glitter.

Once your glue is completely dry, line up your feathers and spray them with your glitter sealer. This stuff is awesome!!

Here is my finished project. I bought some oil based paint markers for each mom to write her name on her feather. They still bled a little, so I am not sure if there is a way to seal the wood to keep the markers from bleeding. I haven’t tried anything like that yet.

Here are the supplies that I used for these necklaces:

Wooden Feathers
Glitter Glue
Glitter
Glitter Sealer
Necklace String

I plan to find some pretty beads for each mom to decorate her necklace with as well. Would you add anything else to them? I can’t decide if they are too plain, or just pretty and simple.
