While walking through an antique store looking for a pair of ice skates ( no joy) I stumbled upon this old grater. Along with the ice skates I was actually looking for a box grater ( also no joy). I had no idea what I was going to do with it (it’s not like I knew what I was going to do with the box grater either) but I knew I’d regret not getting it.
The focal for this is actually the “25” charm which is what I’ll show you how to make.
For this you will need:
- Dimensional Mod Podge ( I used silver glitter)
- Mod Podge Matte
- Jewelry bezels (Michaels)
- Scap of scrapbook paper
- Punch (my 1” punch fit the bezels perfectly)
This is one of those easiest projects ever that people will think is a lot harder than it is. Let them. Also, you can use one of the pendants for actual jewelry!
Here’s how difficult this is:
- Punch circles from paper
- Adhere circle to bezel w/ Mod Podge Matte
- Flood bezel with Dimensional Mod Podge, let dry
For the grater itself? Easy peasy. Wrap the grater with a scrap of dropcloth or fabric scrap. Make a pinwheel from more paper scraps. Add a star and the “25” charm. I added another charm I made from microscope slides. Finish with a strip of washi tape and a button. Mine sits in my kitchen because it’s a grater and even though I alter them with all kinds of non-kitchen stuff….duh!
