 For my project I've made some costumed chickie pins!
   The how-to follows but you can also scroll to the bottom for the link to the next hop participant's link and the giveaway info!

DeNami Stamp: Chickie B90, EasyCast Resin, Mod Podge, E-6000, Glossy Accents, acrylic block, black ink pad, microbeads, bottle caps, pin backs, scissors, paper, and drawing tools.

 Here's a close up of the cute little DeNami Chickie stamp B90:

Stamp the chickie on some yellow paper and cut it out...

Draw a costume around the chickie. 

Here's a pic of some costume ideas:

Color the costume pieces...

Cut them out...

Now glue the chickie onto another piece of paper and glue on the costumes...

Cut out your costumed chickies!

Coat the chickies with a couple of layers of Mod Podge on the front and back to seal them.
Let dry.

Mix up a batch of EasyCast resin (see tab up top for mixing instructions).
*ETI recommends wearing gloves for safety* Gloves also help keep your nails nice!
Pour resin into the bottle caps but not completely to the top.

Pour in some orange and black micro beads and stir them around with a toothpick to mix the colors.

Place the chickie in the bottlecap and make sure it is covered with the resin.
Let this set for 24 - 72 hours for the resin to harden.

Once the resin has hardened it is simple to turn the bottle caps into pins.

All you need is E-6000 and pin backs.

 

Add some E-6000 to the pin back...

 

Press firmly to the back of the bottle cap and let dry for 24 hours to get maximum adhesion.

Aren't these just the cutest way to spread some Halloween cheer?!
