One of my favorite things or I should say places is Paris!  And the new Base & Bling Wearable Crafts helped me to showcase my Love for Paris!

    

                       

It is so simple to make this necklace with our great CTMH products!  See below for all the items available.  To make the square pendant, you need to choose an image from the style sheet (self adhesive) and stick it onto the square pendant.  Add a small amount of Liquid Glass on top of the image and spread it around.  Attach the glass cover on top (remove any excess adhesive from around the edges and let it dry for a few minutes!

Another thing that I loved when I was in parish was drinking coffee right on the Champs Elysee. Perfect venue for Paris people watching, with a view of the Arc the Triomphe on the right and the ferris wheel at the Place de la Concorde to the right.
