Rule Breaker, Heart Breaker

Be a rule breaker, heart breaker with all of these fun, colorful Acrylic Hearts that Punch Place Plus (Craft Chameleon) offers!

You'll definitely be a rule breaker with all the designs and a heart breaker when they receive them!

Punch Place Plus (Craft Chameleon) offers three sizes of Heart Acrylics, 3 inch, 2 inch and 1 inch and in your choice of twelve colors (see website for sizes/colors-as certain sizes only come in certain colors):

• clear
• glitter white
• red
• glitter red
• Persian pink
• hot pink
• glitter hot pink
• beauty pink
• glitter pale salmon
• mirror silver
• mirror gold
• black

Punch Place Plus's colored acrylics are bright, vivid and the glitter is amazingly sparkly (but not to sparkly;). The glitter is encased into the acrylic so they're smooth to the touch.

*Please note that the back side of the glitter acrylics are white or a lighter shade of the original color.

I used black vinyl in a chevron pattern for the 3" red heart with a 2.25" black tassel.

I think these would be perfect for the men and boys in your life too!

You could make a whole set for sister(s), mom too!

(2 inch, Hot pink glitter with 2.25" grey tassel)

For the 1 inch clear, I wanted to make it look like it was carved into a piece of wood but by the time I added the brown and black to the back side, it didn't resemble a tree so I decided to keep it on the clear as is and added a 1.5" beige tassel.

 

The 1 inch and 2 inch would be really cute added to the Adjustable Bangles or even on the Silver Chain Link Bracelets.

Punch Place Plus (Craft Chameleon) also offers a licensed 3 inch Stethoscope Heart, in clear, red glitter, white glitter, black glitter, hot pink glitter and solid hot pink.

 

 

I have to say that coming up with ideas for these gorgeous hearts wasn't the problem, having enough Blank Acrylic Hearts was!

Be a rule breaker, heart breaker and not just for Valentines Day but all year long with these great hearts!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DIY Gold Capped Tassels

I love the tassels that Punch Place Plus sells and I think they are amazing quality but unfortunately they don't come in gold tone so today we are going to DIY gold capped tassels!

If you're anything like me, you want/need an item in every color and finish (silver tone, gold tone (okay, you get my point) and sometimes you don't always have the option so this is a very clever way to get them!

Here is what you'll need to get started:
Tassels
Paper Towel
Fine Point Sharpie (Yep, it matters;)

Start by wrapping your paper towel around your tassel. 

Why not just use tape? Because it does NOT like the suede! PLEASE trust me!!!

Take your fine point Sharpie and start coloring the tassel from the bottom up.
Why? Because then you don't have to worry about getting any of it on your suede!

This is where the fine point comes in, you're going to use the fine point to get into the grooves of the cap and in between the hole where your split ring will go.

Once you've got the tassel covered, lay them onto the paper towel that you used earlier and allow to dry.

After they've dried (I did mine overnight) you are golden!

There are currently a few colors sold out but have no fear, they will return next year!
