SENIOR LADY: PENDANT & CHOKER PROJECT!

-


















CHOKER PENDANT INSPIRED BY: EARRINGS



I was doing my weekly visit to the Pinterest 

website when I saw this cute image of cats

on a pair of earrings. It looked like a simple

hand drawing of five colorful cats.  I liked 

these earrings very much. However, I prefer 

dogs rather than cats. I was inspired to see if 

I could make similar earrings. My earrings

would have hand drawn images of five

colorful dogs on them.


I gathered the materials for this project. 

I realized that I would need to draw,

color, and cut out images  of ten dogs!

I don't like crafts that require with several 

steps. They flare up my arthritic hands.

I decided to draw four dogs. I'll add

them to a teardrop pendant charm 

on a choker cord.


DOG PENDANT CHOKER PROJECT 


NEED:


Crayola Bold & Bright Construction Crayons

White Medium Weight  Paper:

Used for Templates.

 Crafting Paper Pack: 12 designs 

Used for backing on pendant 

Scissors

Elmers Glue-All

DIY Finding Starter Pack:

Lobster clasp, Jump rings

Black choker cord


INSTRUCTIONS:


I hand drew images of four dogs. I used the crayons 

to color the dogs four different colors. They were

cut out and will be glued on the pendant.

A teardrop earring was used to trace a

 teardrop shape on the paper. The teardrop

shape was cut out and used for the pendant.

 I used a light  blue crayon for the background

 color for the pendant. 








The dog cut outs were

glued on the pendant. I cut out paper design

and glued it on the back of the pendant. 

A hole was made in top of the pendant.

A  jump ring was added in the hole.









Glue was brushed on the front and back of the

pendant as protective sealant. The sealant 

was allowed to dry 24 hours. The choker 

necklace was fed through the jump ring.

The Dog Pendant Choker was complete!

** EXTRA TEMPLATES & DOG DRAWINGS BEING

SENIOR WOMEN CAN WEAR PONYTAILS

Ah, the Sixties, when the ponytail was a style that all of us wore often.The ponytail has been updated and revamped many times. One thing for sure this style will always be around.  It is versatile and can used to look classy for evening out or casual on a "Bad Hair Day".   The question for the senior lady is when style of ponytail is appropriate.  We do not want to look like a young girl or a teenager. I have seen older women that wear ponytails on every occasion. I would hate to see a senior lady at a funeral or a black tie affair with a messy ponytail held by a rubber band! Some styles of ponys are meant to be casual.  Here are some ponys that look  alright for a classy senior lady:      HOW TO STYLE PONYTAIL OVER 50 PONYTAIL FOR RECEDING HAIR

I love wearing jeans. They are  more enjoyable when they fit well. They flatter your figure. I am very envious when I see  a classy senior lady looking good in her denim outfit. I  have seen that crisp white  shirt, flattering jeans and a nice pair of boots. I was inspired to put more effort  into my attire after I saw a jeans show on Rachel Ray show.  Her guest explained that you have to find the correct jeans for your  body type.  I know they make  skinny jeans to fit every woman, but I must pass on this style. I have seen some denim styles that  I have tried to copy. They are classy and flattering. Here are some of the styles:
