Have I mentioned how much I love E-6000 adhesive?

{Is that weird?}

This stuff rocks! I’ve used it for everything from making jewelry to repairing shoes.

I pulled out my tube today to fix a broken figurine and a trophy… then things got crazy. Crazy creative, that is.

I made Dylan some pins for his backpack out of old wooden nickels…

The bacon and egg artwork is not my own.

I made a pretty little ring for myself out of scrapbook paper, a glass stone, and a ring blank…

And, finally, I worked up these adorable rings from bows that Kellie and I made from Shrinky Dinks when she was here. We used the same techniques as our enameled pinwheel pendants.


I used the bow template that Jessica provided on her blog, How About Orange.

After cutting out the pieces, we shrunk them in the oven…

Painted with nail polish…

Assembled with E-6000…

Added a coat of glitter polish and a rhinestone…

Affixed to a ring blank…

And, voila!

I have to admit, now that this ring complete, I don’t think it really fits my own fashion sense. However, it might feel different with another paint treatment. I think this would be a fun mother-daughter project.
Just as an aside, do you know how hard it is to photograph a ring on your own hand? Harder than you’d think!
I’m following up this post with another project that I tackled this weekend.
Stay tuned!
