I bought the dominos at Ross for Less thinking if I messed up terribly I would not be wasting too much money. Next I researched on how to make these altered dominos, and , well I searched youtube.com, Pintrest and various other sites for instructions and of course some inspiration .
The best tutorials I found was on

another very easy one on http://whimsyfunk.blogspot.com/2012/01/altered-dominos-tutorial.html
and I watched many many many youtube tutorials. It is nice to find so many different methods of learning aside from a formal classroom. Many thanks to the artists who provide free instructions for all of us to learn and create.
My first attempt yielded some cute stuff, some messes (air bubbles). I can use for magnets, necklaces and canvas art. My next attempt will be actually drilling holes, this first batch has bails glued on to the back. I used permanent felt tips, alcohol ink, mod podge to attach pictures and then staz on for the stamping. I did not use resin, I used Diamond Glaze and next I will try the modpodge version.
Some Christmas Gifts??
