From photo slides to Boho Dangles

Hi everyone,

While yesterday's scrap busting was a super challenge, I am finally pleased with the results.

I wanted to use up some of my photo slides and turn them into Boho style dangles to add to journals and tags.

The first thing I did was pop out the image from the slide holder. I then wrapped the entire slide in phloo phloo fibre wool. It takes about 3 yards to wrap and I used a little hot glue to hold in place as I went around the corners.

Depending on the wool, some of the holes are nearly filled in. I knew that I wasn't going to add a picture si that was ok. I wire wrapped with beads, added hangers and then wired in the filigree embellishment. From there it is just decorating as I choose. The hanger loops will be used to add tassles and dangles from the bottom, and the top one will be for some type of hanging tie thingy. Still undecided what I want. The wrapping takes time, but the results are well worth it. Now I will work to master my techniques and make a pile of these. When done I will share another post and I will be offering these for sale. If you want to make some yourself, I do sell the slides and wool fibres in a ton of colours.

Thanks for looking!
