Spoon Pendants
Have you already used up all forks as photoholders and remain only spoons?
Then make little pieces of jewelry from them ;-))

Lakota Chain Necklace
I find the Lakota Chain necklace really cute, but I didn’t find the time yet to try it out.
Well, one day ;-)

Beaded Valentine Day Heart
Need a quick gift for a good friend?
What about tis nice beaded Valentine Day heart?
I don’t give away anything for Valentine’s Day but I will surely find an occasion on which to bead the heart for someone I really like :)
Though I hover a little between this rather elegant Valentine Day heart and the freeform heart pendant.
I guess that it will depend on the future recipient ;-)

Knitted Valentine Heart Ring
A cute idea: knitting a ring with a tiny heart pattern :)
Possibly I will make it myself, I think that it won’t take long ;-))
And if you don’t like the ring, check out the other rings here ;-)

Braided Bead Rainbow
A long time ago I’ve found the instruction for the braided bead rainbow but when I wanted to present it here at some time the website didn’t exist any more.
So you can imagine how glad I was when I found it back accidentally! :))
So now also for you to make it ;-))

Pantyhose Petals
Pantyhose Petals!
When I was a child it was fashionable to make these!
And now everything comes back.
Admittedly the panties are more colourful today – the petals get therefore more beautiful ;-)

Junk Jewelry
Such a pin from old plastic bottles and the like can look really cute, can’t it?
Now I’m debating with myself on whether I should collect these, too.

Dutch Spiral Necklace
I don’t like the necklaces in Dutch Spiral technique soo much, but I tried it out to see how it is.
In principle it’s nothing else than tubular peyote (instructions see below) where you work a bead loop in one place.
Because I didn’t like the very broad loop part with 18 beads in the instruction I only used 6 beads per loop.
Well, I like it and I was especially amazed again about how I get lost in the always similar moves and how much this relaxes me.
Perhaps I will make another looong necklace, just to relax ;-))
