Directions:

1. Cut the stencil with Our Little Angel from the stencil sheet. Cut the wording from stencil in a strip. Trim some of the excess stencil if necessary so it will fit inside the glass charm.

2. Place the Our stencil dull side down across the top of the charm and the Little Angel across the bottom. Rub them down onto the glass with the popsicle stick that came with your stencils

3. Cover all exposed areas of the glass including the edge of the metal frame with masking tape, so no water or Etch Cream will get inside the frame when rinsing it off. Also cover the backside of the charm. Make sure to overlap all edges of the stencil and tape

4. Put on the gloves. PAT the Armour Etch Cream on the stencils with a brush onto the stencil until the design is completely covered. Follow directions that come with your stencil. View the directions and How to Video. Click HERE

5.Wait 2 minutes. Rinse off the Etch cream under very warm running water. Some of the stencil will come off in the process. Remove tape and remaining stencil material and rinse again. Allow charm to dry completely.

7. Place the charm on the picture and trace around the outside of the frame. Cut out the picture 1/4 inch smaller than the pencil marks on each side. Repeat with the cardstock.

8. Gently work the picture into the backside of the frame of the charm. Help shoe-horn it in with a toothpick. Trim a little more from the picture if you need to, but be careful not to trim too much off, you want as snug a fit as possible without buckling the picture. Repeat with the cardstock.

9. Add a jump ring at the top of the charm. String some beads and the charms onto the necklace cord, then add closures to the ends of the necklace.
