Last fall, I decided that I wanted to learn how to make beaded necklaces because I was not in school OR working due to us moving every couple of months. So I learned to do some cool things! This is the first necklace I made.
(I'm sorry if the pictures aren't the best. I'm not a photographer by any means, and you should have seen how high the nail was that these babies were hanging on compared to how short I am!)
TADA! (yes, I agree it's kind of random)
I kept trying new ideas, and looking at different books and websites and stores for inspiration, and got the hang of it. My favorite type is to make a necklace out of 3 or more wires, and then braid the wire place a bead on 2 wires while one is left out. Here's a few that I've made.
The necklace below is one of my most recent creations and my current favorite. (I change favorites nearly weekly). :)
At one point I was entertaining the idea of selling some of these, but I ended up falling in love with so many that I wanted to keep them all it didn't really work out. :) If you have any questions on how to make your own stuff, feel free to ask!
Those are cute! I'll have to notice what you are wearing to church!
