Amazing Inspiration for Bling Bottle Bottoms:
Time to ring in the new year with some new jewelry inspiration. In a recent tutorial post, I demonstrated how to add a little extra bling to wine cork necklaces by dipping the pieces in Amazing Casting Resin.

Today I would like to share a little inspiration for creating glass bottle necklaces with an encaustic waxed layered look. Mine also hold a little bit of summer sand and a few choice, whimsical words.
Amazing Casting Resin is the perfect choice for adding a little something extra to the glass! By
adding a drop of Amazing Crafting Product Colorant when mixing, the resin can closely resemble paraffin or beeswax. However, unlike wax, the Amazing Casting Resin adheres to this bottle glass necklace very well.
This waxy effect is achieved by making a mold of the glass bottle bottom, using Amazing Mold Putty. Once the mold is firm, submerse the bottle into a bit of colored resin that you have poured into the bottom of the cured mold. Dip bottle into the resin several times, then suspend for several minutes to let the excess drip off. Sit the bottle on a non-stick surface, and let the resin completely harden another several minutes.
Complete instructions for these yummy necklaces can be found in this Winter's issue of Belle Armoire Jewelry Magazine.
