How To Make A Watercolour Paper Pendant Using Brush Pens (2022)

How to make a watercolor pendant is a craft video showing you how I created my small rectangle DIY paper pendants step by step.

In this video I use watercolor brush pens to show how quick and easy it is to create small paintings to use to make watercolor paper pendants.

Many people use traditional wet watercolors on bigger pieces of paper - however, this can seem daunting to anyone who has never painted or feels they 'can't paint'.

Using watercolor brushes and a small pad of means you can work practically anywhere.

I sat in my car and painted the designs I used in some of these pendants.

There are more sophisticated ways of making watercolor paper pendants but if you are new to this, my way is a great way to start exploring how to make watercolor jewlery. It is also a relatively fast way to get results.

My aim in sharing what I do is to encourage people who long to create but feel they 'aren't any good at it'.

I'm not particularly brilliant at art and craft, I'm just dedicated to constantly learning how to use what creative skills I do have to their best advantage.

Maybe you feel hopelessly inferior to crafters who seem to produce 'perfect' work but you shouldn't.

There will always be people who are 'better or worse' than us - but we all start somewhere.

Unless you start, you will never develop and grow in confidence.

If you hold back from creating because you fear failure, have a go at making these pretty watercolor paper pendants.

I also show you how to hang them on a neck cord in a very quick and easy way.

You will soon be proudly giving your beautiful watercolor pendants away as gifts and making more.

Thanks for reading and watching.

Thank you for your words of encouragement. I really needed to read this . In the course of taking care of my husband who has lung disease, I’ve lost interest in doing my crafts and I’ve been mad at myself for it so thank you.

I love these! If you don't have tiny punches I guess tiny stencils may be a good substitute or even hand paint your own designs. TFS!❤

Please do show how you did that pink one.

On the tiny paintings you don't care for, try using a white ink pen (Jellyroll) to create some squiggles or lines on the paintings. I enjoy doing that so I don't waste the paper.😃
