Anthropologie knock off vintage lace bracelet

Anthropologie knock off vintage lace bracelet
The prettiness from Monday and yesterday continues today with a little anthro-inspired bracelet tutorial. In a word, lovely. The lace-and-pearls embroidered on vintage lace is just loveliness. The idea came from Anthropologie (shocker, right?). You’ll need--two lengths of 6″x2″ ribbon or lace for the base and the backing (doesn’t have to be vintage, it gets covered)-enough vintage lace/trim to cover the your ‘base’ (see above)-extra lace/trim to tie-embroidery thread-invisible thread-beads, pearls, etc. for embellishing 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Up-cycled Beaded Silk Wrap Bracelet Tutorial Irish Linen Sparkly Wrap Bracelet Tutorial Beaded Wrap Bracelet – Waxed Irish Linen Tutorial BRAIDED HEX NUT BRACELET DIY When I first saw this braided hex nut bracelet on Pinterest and I knew I had to make one. It’s a quick and easy project to make for less than $5 and looks great stacked with all your other bracelets. To see step by step instructions and photos click here. StringHex Nuts (I used 18) Step 1 Cut 3 pieces of your string approximately 16 inches long (depending on the size of your wrist) and tie them together in a knot. Step 2 Braid for approximately 2 inches (mine is just under). If you dont have an assistant to help you put the hex nuts on your string, I recommend setting your hex nuts on their end and you will be able to thread them easier and with one hand as you hold your braid tight with the other. Step 3 After you braid in all but one of your hex nuts continue to braid just the string for another 2 inches (approx). Step 4 Thread the two ends of your bracelet through your last hex nut in opposite directions and knot each end.

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)

Mod Podged Resin Bangle Stamped Resin Bangle for CraftsUnleashed.com So, my “Stamped Resin Bangles” went up on CraftsUnleashed.com yesterday, and I was pretty pleased with the results. It’s a stamped-and-painted paper strip that’s then decoupaged into the resin form that comes from ConsumerCrafts.com. (See the full tutorial HERE.) Of course, when you are designing crafts for an international craft-supply company, you use only what they carry, right? I pulled out some Magenta “Peel Offs” stickers, some origami paper, and some Precious Metals Paints by Viva Decor and come up with another version . I found that true origami paper- the stuff with the high linen content- takes very well to the Mod Podge. Bangles made with Origami Paper I am totally in love with the black Magenta Paisley stickers, so I used them in this duo- a ring AND a bangle! Magenta Stickers, Mod Podge, and Origami Paper.

Make a t-shirt headband Of all the headbands I've made, I think this is my new favorite. It's like wearing sweats on your head, without the dumpy look. It's so cushy and comfortable! And yes, I am wearing the shirt with the bottom cut off in the picture. Hey, I needed something to match okay? Scrounge around for an old t-shirt. Fold in half lengthwise and pin in place. Fold the headband right side out. Make a flower or two and hand stitch it over the seam. The Real Deal: It cost me pretty much nothing. DIY Stylish Berry Bead Bracelet This is an easy threaded bracelet but very stylish, I love the idea of the original designer(Source) to add golden rosette for the big bead in the center, it makes the bracelet totally fashionable for Summer dressing.

Interview with Anneta Valious When I attended Bead&Button, I was absolutely bowled over by the pieces on display in the Bead Dreams showcases. One necklace that really wowed me was Helen of Troy, by French beader Anneta Valious. Not only is it luxe and gorgeous, but it uses a technique I’d never seen before. Helen of Troy, by Anneta Valious Back at home, I found Anneta’s website, clicked through it, and discovered she describes her designs as being soutache jewelry. Anneta in Barcelona. What is soutache? Soutache is a type of trim or gimp, and more specifically a flat braid with a groove down the center. Can you describe your soutache jewelry technique? This method allows for many design possibilities. Arabesques earrings How did you learn this technique? I started by learning beadweaving and bead embroidery. Where do you sell your work?

DIY Wrap Bracelet There are so many great wrap bracelets out there, but Chan Luu is my fav! But for 220 Euros a piece they are a bit pricy!! Well, not to worry because they are suuuper easy to make yourself! it is a bit time consuming depending on how many times you want them to wrap, but so worth it!! When you are done, make a few knots that way you can regulate the size!! go crazy with beads and colors!! ** updated instructions here** You tie your thick cotton string and a transparent beading line (or fishing line, whatever you have around) to your button. Start by adding a bead to the transparent line, loop it around the left one cotton string, then back through your bead. Hope you are as thrilled by this as me!!

Le guide sur les cabochons ! :-) J'ai enfin trouvé le temps de vous préparer ce guide technique, même 2 guides, le 2eme étant sur l'utilisation des chaînes à boules (et je me suis rendu compte après la session photo que je l'avais déjà écris ce guide !

Tout d'abord, nous allons travailler le cabochon et l'image que vous aurez choisi : Petit point matériel : colle pour bijoux, vernis glassificateur (que vous pouvez trouver partout !) N'hésitez pas à remettre une couche de vernis glassificateur au dos du cabochon ainsi que sur le bord de l'image Ensuite, il existe 2 supports pour poser le cabochon : Bien évidemment, l'utilisation n'est pas limité à ces 2 supports ! Seule contrainte : la colle que vous utiliserez doit pouvoir coller les matières que vous utiliserez. Pour poser votre cabochon sur une base de cabochon/cadre : Mettez de la colle mais pas trop ! Y a plus qu'à attendre que ça sèche !
