DIY Friendship Necklace As soon as Lauren and I saw this editorial in Flare Magazine, we knew we had to recreate these awesome, friendship bracelet-like necklaces. We promise they are super easy to make and the perfect way to pass the time during those long summer roadtrips. To make a 2-tone necklace, cut a long piece of rope and wrap two different colors of embroidery thread around its own bobbin. Tie a starter knot along with the two colored threads you are using, leaving at least 3 inches of slack, Tape down the slack to a flat surface or safety pin it something that will help keep it in place (feeling nostalgic yet?). Lay the color that isn’t being used (shown here in purple) in your left hand, along with the rope, and hold them taut. Take the active color (shown here in red) in your right hand, pass it over the rope, loop it under and back through the opening. To alternate colors, simply put the inactive color (red) in your left hand and the new active color (purple) in your right.

Chan Luu Single Wrap Macrame Bracelet Chan Luu bracelets are just so cool! What's great about them is that they use simple macrame techniques to produce different results, this time with the addition of beads! This tutorial adds on to my previous Square Knot Friendship Bracelets, but utilizes the beads in a different way; on the outside of the knots as opposed to the inside. What you get is a totally different result! Step 1: Gather materials. Step 2: Start the knots. Once you have a couple of square knots, take either side of the thread and add beads to these threads. Take two beads right up to the last knot. Make a square knot, making sure the beads are caught in the knot and lie right on either side of the center thread. Step 2: Continue this method. Once you have gotten one square knot set, continue to knot in this way, until your bracelet is as long as you need. You're finished! If you share/use/post this tutorial, please link back to me.
Make An Awesome Drop Spindle Drop spindles are an ancient tool for spinning fiber into yarn or thread. They've been around for a very long time and have changed little since their first invention. The first spindles weighted with whorls appeared as far back as the Neolithic era. A whorl is simply a weight that helps the spindle spin "better" before you have enough yarn on it to give it a little heft. These days you can buy a variety of types and styles in a range of prices and with a few notable exceptions they all work in essentially the same way. I learned to spin on bottom whorl spindle but tend to use top whorl spindles now. Spindles can be purchased in stores or online for anywhere from $15 or $20 on up to ...a lot. This will show you how to make a decent looking functional spindle for a few bucks.

This beauty was hand built from the ground up in an all-too-small wood shop by my boyfriend, Jeff Rogers. No more sawhorses and MDF for me! Let me tell you a bit more about how special this wooden wonder really is. I spend about 4-10 hours each day at my workspace… so this beautiful piece of furniture will surround me for somewhere in the vicinity of 20,000 hours (by my careful calculations), assuming I’m lucky enough to continue making jewelry for the next 30-40 years. For your countless hours of hard work and beautiful craftsmanship, Thank you Jeff.
