Get Crafty This Weekend

 After yesterdays post I wanted to share a little of my jewelry making tips. Above you see my latest creations of necklaces and bracelets. below you see how it usually starts off (one big pile of crafties). I like to get all of it out so I can see what I have and see which colors or textures fit nice together and ofcourse I like to clash colors; neons with black and whites, opposites attract instead of keeping it safe in the same color pallet.

 The first and third necklace (see pictures above) I braided. The first was braided, including the bolts as you go along. 

With the second necklace I wrapped multiple ropes together.

*Tip; Stick your rope down with washi tape

 If wrapping other twine or so around the rope, secure it by melting the ends or by superglueing them. 

(superglue = my friend)

Last step is to attach a clasp (use your pliers for this) 

*Tip; find clasps at a arts & crafts store or reuse one from an old necklace!

Black 'n White Crop Top

 I have been collecting ropes, string and other materials that I'm attracted to over the past few months and I have never actually done anything with them until this necklace. Rope items are this springs and summers hottest accessories and it is really cool to be able to say; "I did it myself".

Get inspired this weekend and make your own rope necklace!

Mixing Metals

Last Thursday I had a crafty date with some of my girlfriends, we spent all day together going past the bead stores in Amsterdam and finally going to my house to craft together the jewels we got. After that I  I was on a roll with making jewels. I made a variation of fine necklaces to be worn together or alone. Also some skinny rings and bracelets with pearls, coral and turquoise stone. 

If you never made any jewelry, it can be really easy and really fun, pass by a craft store and make yourself something fun this week!
