Susan Beal is a contributor at Craftstylish, a site dedicated to do-it-yourself crafts and fashionable art projects! Below, she shares a fun how-to on decorating your own jewelry set! This fun, sparkly set of painted and embellished pendant and earrings was inspired by my super-talented friend Kathy Cano-Murillo, the Crafty Chica herself! I started with plain wood discs from the craft store and added elements from her new line of crafty delights, but you can fancy yours up with any visual imagery and details you like. You'll need: Three wooden discs (I used one 1.5-inch circle and two 1-inch circles), acrylic paint, a paintbrush, jewelry adhesive, pendant bail, jump rings or soldered rings, three paper images of your choice, the same size or smaller than your discs, sharp scissors, craft glue, clear gloss varnish, three charms of your choice, rhinestones or other flat-backed embellishments, pliers, earring wires, a chain with a clasp.
