DIY Chainmail Necklace You’ll need: Start by separating the jump rings into two halves: 175 open and 175 closed. Thread three closed jump rings onto an open jump ring. Close the ring. Keeping the rings in place with your forefinger and thumb, take an open jump ring and hook it through the front side of the two rings. Add 2 closed rings to the open ring and close. Spread the two rings apart in the same way as the first set of rings. Add 2 closed rings and close. To add an optional fourth row, lay the necklace flat and hook an open ring through first and second closed rings on the right side. I stopped at 4 rows but you can continue adding rows for a more bib-like necklace. Connect the two ends with a single jump ring or clasp. Fini! (top image from here, rest of images by HonestlyWTF)
DIY: Collar flúor Hace un par de días tuve el placer de organizar la fiesta de presentación de Dresseos, un nuevo vestidor de alquiler online que cuenta con piezas exclusivas de diseñadores muy reconocidos como Angel Schlesser, Amaya Arzuaga, Ion Fiz , Devota … [LEER TODO] Esta semana he podido permitirme un look más primaveral y estrenar mi nuevo crop top. Mira que hace tiempo odiaba los crop tops y no los consideraba nada elegantes. Hoy queremos presentaros una nueva firma española de calzado que seguro os va a encantar. Hoy queremos compartir un outfit de día muy sencillo que esperemos os inspire ya que es muy copiable. Desde hace ya mucho tiempo, me ha llamado la atención ver en algunos desfiles de moda, como los de Angel Schlesser o Jorge Vázquez, cadenas en los pies a modo de pulseras de los zapatos. Gracias a Aussie, una seguidora de este blog podrá asistir conmigo a la fiesta que Dresseos va a organizar la semana que viene. ¡Por fin viernes!
Tuto - Un collier tressé en perles de rocaille Pondu par Flo le 24 avril 2012 Voici un tuto photos pour réaliser très simplement un collier tressé avec de petites perles de rocaille. Un collier que vous pouvez adapter selon les tendances et les saisons, en choisissant des harmonies de couleurs différentes ! Ici j’ai opté pour une alliance anthracite / or / vert de gris clair, avec des perles mats. Le coût du collier revient à moins de 10€, sachant qu’il vous restera pas mal de perles, d’anneaux et de cache-noeuds, qui s’achètent souvent par 10. Matériel Trois couleurs de perles de rocailleDu fil à coutureDes cache-noeudsDes anneauxDe la chaîne avec un fermoirDes ciseauxUne aiguilleUne pince (facultatif, souvent les cache-noeuds sont souples et se ferment à la main) Étapes Préparez deux rangs de perles de chaque couleur, sur un fil double, histoire d’assurer la longévité de votre collier. Vous allez ensuite assembler les deux rangs de même couleur avec un cache-noeud. Voici le résultat. Pour terminer, fixez votre chaîne à chaque anneau.
Chain Friendship Bracelets With the weather warming up, all I want to do is make summery bracelets – for myself and all of my friends. For the past few weeks I’ve been playing with rope and chain in attempt to make the “perfect” friendship bracelet, and I think that these come close. They are fun and easy to make, though it takes a bit of practice and patience at first. Over the weekend, I made several – and the whole family was infatuated. What you’ll need: 6 pieces of embroidery floss, cut to 30″ each.2 pieces of chain (I used rose gold,) cut to 4.5″ each. The first step is to knot the six pieces of floss together at the top. When you finish braiding, tie another knot. Next, separate the floss into two bunches of three strands. Begin by weaving the first link of both pieces of chain onto your floss. From there, keeping the floss held tightly, and keeping the chain links straight (this is very important,) begin weaving through the chain at a diagonal. Continue weaving at a diagonal.

Triple Ball Chain Bracelet After last week’s bracelet DIY, I thought it would be fun to do another summery bracelet. (If your curious, next week’s DIY will be another summer bracelet, too – the reason for this is that I’ve had several busy weeks topped off with weekend travel plans, and materials for bracelets travel incredibly well!) Last summer, the brilliant ladies of Honestly WTF slayed me with this fabulous wrap bracelet. Ball chain – what a brilliant idea! This bracelet uses three pieces of ball chain. While starting it is a bit tricky (I had to redo a few of mine,) perseverance pays off. What you’ll need: Colorful Waxed Linen (about 2.5 yards.)Ball Chain (about 15 inches, cut into three five inch pieces.)Scissors Begin the bracelet by cutting the waxed linen into six pieces. Take your six strands and divide them into three bundles of two. When you finish braiding, separate the strands. Take two of your pieces of ball chain, and pinch them together with the four bottom strands. Wrap slowly and tightly.

DIY | DIY Steel & Ombre Ring Hey everyone! I have a quick tutorial up over at For the Makers today on how to make a ring from dark annealed steel wire from the hardware store (3!) and embroidery thread. DIY Wood Jewelry Holder I love junk wood. Months ago when I was having some fun with dimensional paint for the Martha Stewart craft article, I experimented with a dot stippling method that could make some interesting designs. So all you need for this project is a an old piece of wood, 3-dimensional paint, and some hooks to screw into your wood, and a little elbow grease to screw them in. It’s a Great Day For… It’s a cool rainy day here, one that calls for some indoor cozy activities – like embroidery. (Pattern from the September For the Makers box. Also, with the weather change, it seems to have brought out some big spiders around our house. Is the weather changing where you are? Consider the Birds I picked up this Blue Jay feather the other day. Guest Post: DIY Earrings from Paint For the Makers
DIY woven chain collar necklace You’ll need: Start by laying two pieces of curb chain side by side. Tie on 4 feet of embroidery floss into a double knot to the end of the left chain, leaving at least a foot of extra slack. Thread the floss through the top of the first link of the right chain. Thread the floss under the first link on the left side and through the top of the 2nd link on the right side. Continue this weaving pattern. Tie a knot at the end. Using a different color flow, weave the floss around the first few links – again leaving about a foot of extra slack. Continue weaving and tie a knot at the end. Tie a knot onto the chain. Keep the necklace curved while attaching the rhinestone chain. Cut several 2 feet strands of floss and thread them through the ends of the necklace. Your necklace is now adjustable and finished!!
