Day 1 of Embellishments for the 100 Days Project

When I first discovered the 100 Days Project midway through it last year I loved the idea of creating a handmade Project Life card each day but after signing up this year as Day 1 grew closer I decided I really wanted to work with embellishments.  I wanted to create DIY embellishments as well as embellishment clusters.  That would be something I could do even if I only have 5 minutes to spare each day.

I decided Day 1 I would make some DIY enamel dots to use in my embellishment clusters later in the project.
I only have 3 colours of Viva Perler Pens so for Day 1 I have made a row of each colour.  I used a sheet of purchased dots and moved the left overs to the 2 left hand rows so I could use the 3 rows on the right for my DIY enamel dots and be easily able to store them on the sheet.



I will be sharing my daily progress on my Instagram and I will do a approximate weekly blog post with more details on my progress and creations.

Are you participating in the 100 Days Project this year?
Please share your link to your project with me.

    What a fabulous idea. Thanks for sharing this... I want to start making my own embellishments too. Not only because we really struggle to get stuff here in South Africa but when we do it is so expensive. There are awesome video tutorials on making them too. Love this :D

      Thank you, this is my favourite method as it is much safer.

    This method seems so easy! It's so cool you can make your own embellishments like this.

      It is, you do have to leave them overnight to dry so need a space where they won't be touched.
      You can do this with any brand pearler pen or Ranger Enamel Accents.
