I have to say thank you for the sweet comments and wonderful questions about my newest creation. I thought it would be fun to give a little bit more detail into how I made it.
As I said in the previous post you can buy the wires with a hook already bent on one side like this….
but I had some bits and pieces left over from another project so my wires were straight like this…..
Now for the fun part that will bruise your fingertips but give you such a cute result lol (I am certain there is a better way to do this but this is the way I went about it)
I finish it off by pinching it closed so it won’t snag your shirt :)
I slipped a little glass bead on every other piece and clipped off the excess wire with my trusty little wire clippers.
Do this several more times depending on the length you want or until your fingers are numb {wink wink}
so very cute and easy, I may have to try it and maybe my old retainer wire bending thumbs won't even bruise maybe a little since its been so long :)
ReplyDeleteJewelry making looks like so much fun, but I need another hobby like I need a hole in my head.

Wow. Very pretty : ). Cougar town is a show, right? I am not very cool. And I don't have any wire cutters. I do LOVE the necklace though. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that??
ReplyDeleteVery creative but not me, I would rather just buy it. :)))
