Handmade Floral Cabochons with Mod Melts

Waaaaaaay back in January, I was in Anaheim, CA – wandering the floor of the Craft & Hobby Association Trade Show. For a girl like me, the CHA Trade Show is the ultimate test of my CADD – Crafter’s Attention Deficit Disorder. Every inch of the place is full of new products and fun make & takes. I came away from the show with a list of favorites that I talked about in THIS post.

Among my list of “Best in Show” were the Plaid Crafts Mod Melts – which I named “Best Tool You Never Knew You Needed” and I totally stand by that title, because this stuff is amazeballs.

Mod Melts  and Mod Molds are created by the same lovely genius people who create Mod Podge and they will be exclusively available at Michael’s Craft Stores in late June…but I’m here to give you a little sneaky peek at how they work! Let’s get started!

{1} Place a Mod Melts stick into your glue gun and allow it to heat up.

{2} Squeeze out the Mod Melts just as you would hot glue. Fill the mold and allow to rest for five minutes…yes…five minutes! That’s all it takes!

{3} Paint your finished shaped with acrylic paint in your choice of color. I found that a sponge brush worked best for this. Use a dabbing motion with the brush. This will ensure that paint gets into all the little crevices of the shape.

Now it’s time to show you how I used my handmade cabochons. Well, first I just sorta stared at them and admired how pretty they were in a pile together. Feel free to do the same. Once you’ve stopped ogling your creations, there are plenty of ways that you can use them to dress up even the simplest of projects – like this little stationery set I created.

To create the box for this set, I used THIS template, which is easy to follow and great for handmade or store bought cards.
