Teal and Brown

I have had these really pretty teal and brown flower beads for awhile.

I have also had brown wooden flower charms for awhile.

I loved both of these, but could never figure out what to make with them.

Then I realized, I should put them together!

I loved how they turned out!

I used beading wire to make these earrings.

I strung the wooden cross charms onto the middle of the wire.

I pulled both sides of the wire together to thread the teal pearl like bead

onto both strands at once.

I then separated the two ends, stringing teal seed beads onto each strand.

I brought the stands back together to string the flower on.

Separating the strands again, I strung more teal seed beads.

I brought the strands back together one last time to add one more teal pearl like bead.

I used a wire crimp to finish the earrings off and hook onto fishhook earring backs.

Earrings such as these are available in my shop

Upcycled Washers

I love upcycling objects to create new art!

My inspiration for this piece was washers.

Washers come in many different sizes, and can have pretty colors to them.

I decided to create earrings from various sized washers.

These fun earrings are made from washers and butterfly beads!

The butterflies are a greenish brown color.

They have hypoallergenic fishhook earring backs.

They hang apx. 3.25 inches from the fishhook earring.

Slightly industrial, upcycled, and steampunk. Be unique!

I created the earrings by using washers, jump rings, butterfly beads, and headpins.

I took three different sized washers and connected them together using jump rings.

I then connected the top smallest washer to the earring back using two more jump rings.

I ran a headpin through the butterfly beads and made a loop, connecting them to the bottom washer.

Earrings like these are available for purchase in my Etsy shop

Secret Sister Day 7

I am participating in a Secret Sister/Secret Santa swap over at Scraptastical Kreations, among the design team ladies. We sent a box of 25 small gifts to our Secret Sister and we open one gift each day.

Day 7 of Secret Santa

My Secret Santa made me two cute necklaces!

One is darker in color, perfect for winter.

The brighter one is great for summer/spring!

Creating Necklaces

I have gotten back into creating necklaces. I had not made one in awhile,

but I had a request for one for Christmas, and now I have made 

quite a few in the past week and a half.

The following necklace is one that was inspired by some shell beads that I had gotten awhile back. I had not been able to figure out what to do with them, then it hit me! I had the perfect seed beads to match the shells, so why not make a necklace out of them!

I decided that this necklace is going to be a one of kind! It is for sale in my Etsy shop.

Once it is sold, there will not be another listing!
