Sliding Clasps

free-macrame-patterns Sliding Clasps

I presented a sliding knot before, here they’re talking more about tipps what to take into consideration if making sliding clasps and which knots can be used to make designs of your own.

And if you don’t like sliding clasps try a self-made hook and eye clasp or a beaded shank button ;-)

I presented already how I’m making paper beads, somebody shows here most beautiful other (also paper) beads, the ones on the picture are made from woodchip wallpaper.
Aren’t they beautiful?

Did you always wanted to have some costly pearl jewelry? A real long necklace of pearls or a luxuriant pin of pearls?
No problem, simply make your own pearls.
You don’t even have to swallow some grains of sand as mollusks have to do ;-))

I find these earrings soo cute!
And they are great to practice the Peyote technique, just as the beads that I combined with my paper beads.
Now at last I can make matching earrings for my paper beads bracelet ;-))
