Wire Wrapped Cage Sea Glass Pendant Sketch

I pinned this very interesting looking wire wrapped sea glass caged pendant on Pinterest a little while ago, but I was asked recently how "I made it". I didn't make it, and never said I did. But, I'm curious, and I do want to make it. Since I'm living out of a hotel right now, with a minimal amount of supplies, I couldn't whip one up....

 The directions state very clearly to use this in a "well-ventilated area", so I decided to take this project outside. 



Step 2: Spray the "Color Spray" on the Purse



Put the gloves on. Shake the can well,…

Instead of throwing out the sweater, I bought some iron on butterfly patches.


I just placed them over the holes...

and ironed them on.

Here's the front, with the holes covered.

Here's the back. The moth holes are now covered with butterfly patches. My nice cozy sweater is done.
