Domino Picture/ATC Holder
Image used: CH-523-M, Winged Cat 1. Purchase a round wooden disc from a local craft or hardware store. Paint the disc with silver acrylic paint. Spray with a light coat of Krylon sealant and let dry. (See Picture 1) 2. Line up three white standard size dominos as shown in Picture 2 and tape them together. 3. Ink up the Winged Cat stamp (CH-523-M) with black StazOn ink. Press the dominos down on top of the inked image and lift up carefully. (Picture 3) 4. Color the image using orange, yellow and black Sharpie markers, and edge the sides with a silver paint pen (Elmer’s). Spray with a few light coats of Krylon fixative and then follow that with a layer or two of Krylon sealant. Allow to dry. (Picture 4) 5. Use a hand held drill with a very thin bit to drill three holes across the top of the dominos. (Picture 5) 6. Peel the tape off the back of the dominos then carefully, but quickly, use Crazy Glue to adhere the dominos back together, being careful to match the stamped image lines. 7. Cut three pieces of 18 gauge craft wire in varying lengths, each one at least 10 inches long. One at a time, twist the end of the wire into a spiral with small craft pliers (Picture 6), then twist small circles down the length of the wire (Picture 7). Repeat for remaining two wires. 8. Spread glue (E500) across the edge of the bottom domino and press it onto the middle of the wooden base. Place the three twisted wires into place in the holes on top of the dominos and adjust the height of each, until you’re happy with the look. Cut the ends shorter as needed. Remove the wires. Fill each hole with a few drops of crazy glue, slide a silver spacer onto the wire and then quickly replace the wire into the hole. Repeat with the other two wires (Picture 8). 9. Slide pictures into the wire twists or use it to display your favorite ATC cards! The domino base can be made using a single domino or any domino configuration you come up with. These are easy, pretty quick and turn out so cute!
