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. Spread the three rings apart, with the rings looking exactly as shown below. The bottom ring will be the end of the necklace and the top two rings, which are spread open over the middle ring, will be where the chain mail begins. 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)

Circle skirt calculator – for the drafting of full, half and 3/4 skirts. With bonus grading worksheet! | The Snug Bug Special Sunday greetings you naked molerats! Since you’re so naked, I thought you might want to make yourselves some nice little circle skirts. And perhaps, like me, you find yourself with little mole rat patterns just a touch on the small side. But the grading of a circle skirt isn’t so easy, is it you naked rodents? Oh no, not so easy at all… OK. Recently I’ve been plotting about two separate circle-skirt related issues in my head. For molerats who are unfamiliar with circle skirts, here’s the difference between the three styles. For a much more interesting comparison, here’s a full circle skirt. {image Whirling Turban} Here’s the oh, so lovely three-quarter circle skirt. And a slightly pixelated half circle skirt… {image Get Go Retro} The other circle-skirt related problem I’ve been mulling over has to do with grading up circle skirts. OK, I admit I usually grade up my circle skirts the ‘wrong’ way. My problem is (hopefully) solved! Okee dokee. Whew! OK! There we have it!
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. To alternate colors, simply put the inactive color (red) in your left hand and the new active color (purple) in your right. Once you’re done knotting, add a few nuts and/or washers to the necklace.
Tsumami Kanzashi Flower Hair Clip I have recently discovered these beautiful folded flowers, and I absolutely cannot stop making them. Tsumami Kanzashi are traditional Japanese folded flowers, made from small squares of silk, that are typically worn by women as hair ornaments in traditional hairstyles. They seem really complicated and intricate, and they can certainly be that if you really want; but it completely doesn't need to be! These can be used in countless applications. There are a few tutorials out there on the internet, but to find a good variety in petal shapes can certainly be difficult, you just have to keep looking, and just grab a square of fabric and just test stuff out.
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. 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. Faites la même chose à l’autre extrémité des rangs : attention, cela demande beaucoup plus de minutie puisqu’il va s’agir de bien tendre les fils pour ne pas laisser de vide entre les perles. Voici le résultat.
Sarita creative: DIY Beaded Friendship Bracelets There's nothing like a little new arm candy to brighten up your day.... After see some beaded friendship bracelets around and about I decided this was something I could do myself. The results of my experiments are above... the options are endless and its fast to do, and you get a great result for not a lot of money.If you're keen to give this a try yourself, the following guide will get you started. Materials:Crochet threadBead thread (or cotton, but it won't be as strong)Seed beads Beading needle (that will fit through tiny beads)Embroidery hoop (25cm works well) or bead loom if you have one.NB. It's important to choose seed beads of high quality that are very even in size, which will keep your bracelet width even as well. To get started you need to think about your design and decide the width you want your bracelet (ie, number of beads across - I went for 6 in the pink options and 8 in the zigzag designs). Then you're ready to get started. You've just completed your first row! Your done!
