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 ;-)

When you’ve made yourself some beautiful paper beads or plastic bag beads, you may want to make a necklace with them.
And if you don’t have a closure at hand use simply this sliding knots necklace.
If you don’t like it, you can always more or less quick make a closure yourself ;-)

Drinking Straw Jewelry and Ornaments

unikatissima Drinking Straw Jewelry and Ornaments

When I saw the drinking straw pin I thought: ‘Oh yes, I want!’ ;-)

 

unikatissima Drinking Straw Jewelry and Ornaments It is quite easy: I took two different coloured drinking straws, cut them (veeery carefully!) into spirals with an X-acto knife und knotted them (not too firm) together.
This way my little ball stays in form without glue, sewing or the like.
I wanted to cut them first with scissors but I got ugly edges, the cut must be made with a really sharp cutting tool.

I find it cute as well as jewelry as well as tree ornament ;-)

Celtic Circle Knot

Free-Macrame-Patterns_com - Celtic Circle Knot

I find this Celtic Circle Knot really beautiful and imagine it depending on the used yarn as an ornament on a card, a pin or a hair decoration.
But I can’t show my own photo yet because my fingers were up until now much too clumsy for it ;-))

And when I have worked it out I can possibly even design my own Celtic Knot ;-)
