These are a few of my first attempts, very basic and easy for me to start off with! This pendant below is a simple shimmery gold bead, with smaller gold pearl beads above and below. I used silver wire to connect them all together and made two loops... mainly for decorative purposes but also for a chain if wanted to be worn on a necklace.
The large rectangular bead below is part of a gift for my cousin. She's very in trend and loves chunky statement jewellery. I decided on the brown large bead as brown can really go with any colour clothing, and the silver wire I used pliers to create the zig-zag effect. I also made the cameo ring - again simply by purchasing the ring, background piece and cameo itself separately.
Below is a gorgeous round gold bead which I encased with silver wire and using pliers, managed to create the spiral effect almost hugging the bead. This is definitely my favourite piece I've made so far... I have also made a blue and pink flower vintage style window charm for a friend but I forgot to take a photo :(
The first jewellery box was from a previous gift I received... a recycled box you could say! The other two boxes are from ASDA at £1.50 each! Absolute bargain, and perfect for Christmas. Hopefully by next Christmas I will be creating more imaginative and complex jewellery pieces.
I did go in to Dunelm today in aims of finding some bargain material in the sale to make myself a make-up bag. As I rifled through I found a gorgeous floral vintage patterned pillow case! But after going to the till to find out how much it was... £7.99! Not the bargain I was after! Does anyone know of any websites I could have a gander at?
