Hey everyone! Today, I have a different kind of post and project…which I think you’ll like! The best part is, there is even a video to go with it.
Now, you guys know I mostly make paper type crafts- but, I also love to make jewelry. I haven’t made time for it, lately- but I found some really beautiful Blue Moon beads– and had to make a necklace! I hope to do a couple more videos in a few weeks- to show you how to make a bracelet and a pair of earrings too!! Sound fun?
But, first let’s make a necklace!
I wanted to show you a closeup of the bird and branch pendant- don’t you love it? I love their Lost & Found Collection– here is the link to the pendant I used.
With the extra seed beads, I made a 2 strand bracelet- using crimp beads and a lobster clasp.
Since I am ‘rougher’ on my bracelets- these strands were restrung with a heavier gauge bead wire.
Wasn’t that fun?! Who doesn’t like new jewelry? Well…tell ya what, Blue Moon Beads is going to put together a little gift pack of jewelry making items for one luck winner?!
All you have to do is leave me a comment- and ‘like’ Blue Moon Beads on Facebook and tell them I sent you over!
