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

I find the Lakota Chain necklace really cute, but I didn’t find the time yet to try it out.
Well, one day ;-)
Still got some plastic bottles? ;-)
Then try to make some earrings or a simple yet striking necklace!

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 ;-)

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 ;-))

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.
;-))

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 ;-))

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 ;-))

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…
