DESTINATION CUTE: jewlery

Sunday, November 17, 2013

Arrange jewels. You need 1 big one for center and 5 smaller ones for each side.

(Alternate way: You can try sewing or glue the beads onto a piece of felt fabric like I did here).

I used wires which took quite a bit longer.

Add jump rings to last bead and connect to desired length of chain.

Hey guys, I hope you all are well!

It's been quite a while. Sorry for the quiteness.

Here's a diy I'm excited to share. I will be honest, it was not easy as I anticpated
but I think well worth the time.

I got all these beads from Michaels for under $20.

My inspiration came from Ily Couture's Crystal Botanica.

So gorgeous but I don't have $150 to drop and why should you if you can do it yourself?!

Hmm I'm quite happy with the results. Can't wait to wear this and incorporate it into the holidays.
What do you think?

Let me know if you plan on making it. ❤❤

I was checking out frames for my wall gallery and came across this pretty frame.

And then I thought it would be perfect for an earring holder,

thanks to seeing the many versions on Pinterest.

No doubt, it will be a nice addition to my wall gallery.

This is a 5x7 frame from Ikea and it's made of plastic instead of wood.

It was under $3 or $4 bucks, so no complaints here.

Supplies:

Frame

Pearl strands

Paint & stencil (optional)

Measure 1 or 2 strands to fit the width of your frame (whatever you prefer).

Paint polka-dots, hearts, whatever you like or just leave as is. I think either way, is cute.

If you do decide to paint it, nail polish would work great because it dries a lot faster.

Leave about an inch of string on the ends of the pearls.

After removing the backing, tie a knot (see step 5) around what looks to me like plastic hinges.
