holiday craft ideas

 we made ear rings which are amazingly simple to make. Once you get the hang of making the loops for the top then it's easy. I will now be making ear rings to go with everything.

Then we moved on to a necklace and I finally discovered how to put on the clasp properly. I chose an orange/yellow/brown colour scheme which worked out really well.


After this we made a bracelet. I made a simple enough bracelet that goes with the necklace and ear rings. It'll be a nice change to have some matching jewelery. The bracelet is finished with wireguards and a crimp guard so that it looks professional. It's pretty fiddly to do and one of my crimp guards was closed a bit off but it does make it look really well. You can see it in the photo below.

Here's the entire set.

And the glamour shot of the set.

Next week we're doing introduction to wirework. We saw some examples from this class and they look amazing so I'm really looking forward to it.
