quick custom embellishment...

This is hanging off a...?????

YIKES...I better not show it...

But...I can show this...

I needed something small and square to add to a CHA project...
I like custom stuff...
*
Hmmm...what could I do?
*
Enter...Ranger's Memory frames...with the new "cute as snot" memory capsules.
*
I cut the pin part off Maya Road's trinket pin & used just the cool leaf. It was a perfect fit for the 1 inch square memory capsule.

YIPPEE!
Just exactly what I needed...small, square & perfect coordinating color.
I LOVE it when things fit as planned.........
*
Here's the simple how to...
*Cut a 1 x 1 square of cardstock & stamp a background...
I think studio 490 would look the best...
but that's just my opinion! ha!
*
*Cut the sharp metal from the pin
*
*Glue the leaf to the center of the cardstock square
*
*Make sure nothing is larger than the glass
*
*From the bottom...layer a piece of memory glass, your art & the memory capsule on top
*
*Lift the tiny tab on the side of the memory frame & open the frame just enough to allow you to insert the art sandwich
*
*Insert the tab back into the slot & close
*
I cut off the rings that came attached to the frame & used 2 jump rings to attach the memory collage to my...??? ART!
To embellish the bottom ring, I used a washer, a long fastener and a spinner.
*
It couldn't be easier...
