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 ;-)

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 ;-))

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.

Beaded Stamp Pins
There are soo beautiful stamps, why not make a little piece of jewelry from them?
One way is the already presented lamination, another the beading of stamps.
And with a little more thought I will get other ideas as well ;-))

Millefiori and Organza Pendant
I have the tutorial about using Organza on polymer clay on my list for a long time already – but not yet tried.
After having no time to work with polymer clay for quite a long time now, I don’t want to buy some liquid polymer clay.
Nevertheless…

Polymer Clay Zentangles
When I saw the tutorial on how to make polymer clay Zentangles I thought: ‘Wow! What a great idea!’
Up until now I only sketched my Zentangles and made a lot of things with Fimo and I even thought about making the polymer clay letter cane ;-)
I still have some black and white polymer clay canes, perhaps I can make something with them.

Drinking Straw Jewelry and Ornaments
When I saw the drinking straw pin I thought: ‘Oh yes, I want!’ ;-)
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 ;-)
