Nail Polish Glazed Washers

By 14 Comments

This is a nail polish glazed washer tutorial that I did for Ucreate a few weeks ago, so here is a recap if you missed it.

Nail Polish Washer Accessories

I love the glazed and stamped washers and decided to put a fun new twist on the washer. I “glazed” them using nail polish.

Supplies needed:

  • Washers
  • Nail Polish (color and clear)
  • Nails
  • Cereal Box
  • Accessory supplies: key ring, necklace, charms, clasps

(all the accessory supplies I used were 50% off at Hobby Lobby and cost $2 or less)

1. Poke the a few nails in the cereal box to hold up each washer so the paint can drip if needed.
2. Paint a light coat in the back of the washer so it will be the same color if it flips when you are wearing your necklace/bracelet.
3. Paint the edges of the washer.

4. For the top, really glop it on. There are four different techniques I used.

A. Paint small circles (I did about 10) to get a spirally effect.
B. Drag your brush from the inside to the outside all the way around to make it look like the iris of an eye. Next time I would do this in blue or green. 🙂

C. Stipple with your brush to get a hammered type look.
D. Drag your brush in circles around the whole washer.

5. Let dry until hardened. Add a clear coat to protect and add shine.

Ta da!

Now embellish however you like.

Add a clasp and a charm for a fun key chain.

Play with chains (mine was a 60 in. that I wrapped), clasps, and charms for a super versatile necklace. Click any of the images to see them up close.

Or rock it as a bracelet.

The possibilities are truly endless!

  11. Found you through your feature on Someday Crafts… congrats on that! Love this little idea for the washers. I already have several ideas on things I could do with them – AFTER I finish my other bazillion projects that is. Can’t wait to ck out all your other postings. Thanks for sharing. Would love to have you ck out my blog as well (I’m still new to this “blogging world”, so it certainly does not compare to all you other expert “bloggers”. 🙂
