…compilation of tutorials
I found the jewelry with the self-made turquoise already a long time ago and was thrilled!
Once I tried myself making my own turquoises from Fimo but it didn’t quite work.
Somewhen I will try it again… ;-)

When I saw the little beaded wooden spools I directly wanted to go for making them myself!
Luckily I didn’t have any wooden spools at home at the moment ;-))
But you can easily ‘weave’ the little Peyote beads from my paper beads bracelet (without any wooden spools ;-)) around the wooden spools.

I find those beads soo beautiful and can easily imagine them in other colour combinations!
One day…
Sigh.
;-)
I’d never have had the idea myself: beading shoes!
Up until now I mostly ‘jumped’ at buttons and pins and the bead embroidered Paisleys are still on my list, but shoes…
If you don’t like the pattern, check out again the cross stitch patterns treasures ;-)
I’m thrilled, it’s possible that I really will make them once ;-)
You can possibly even embroider your self-made shoes.
On the other hand it may be easier to spraypaint the shoes.
And if you are a sneaker type you may prefer to customize your sneakers ;-)
Besides fall has begun, possibly you better add crochet embellishments to your shoes?! ;-)

I always liked those beads and they are not so difficult to make – but I haven’t yet managed to make them ;-)

Actually it’s time to bead me a nice necklace, e.g. this spiral chain.
At least I find that I should ;-)
She says that it is an easy stitch that is worked quickly.
Once I tried the stitch and I find that she’s right.
Only I gave the necklace away and took (of course!) no photo before.
Well, I have to make it again, this time for me ;-)

You can do a lot with wire – even hair pin lace!
Looks wonderful, the bracelet, doesn’t it?
Oh yes, my list ;-))
But I have already a self-made hair pin lace loom ;-))

Finally a beaded bead again ;-)
I like this one very much, the shape is more dynamic than the one of the easy Peyote beads that I presented at the paper beads.
I haven’t tried them yet (of course!) but I will one day ;-)

I have found this tutorial for crocheted wooden beads before and then I lost it – I was quite unhappy!
But now I found it back (somewhere else!) and I’m feeling fine again ;-))
I haven’t tried it yet but I would like to make them with coloured yarns because you can make so wonderful hues with.

While surfing I found a beautiful spiral button.
I have to give it a try ;-)
If I don’t like it, I can still come back to my own spiral beads ;-)
Or to the folded spirals.
Or the crochet spiral ;-)))
