As well as trying to add value to bargain bin tops I’ve also been attempting to make jewelery. I love jewelery and I especially love handmade jewelery so after buying some basic jewelery making tools online ages ago I decided that it was finally time for me to try making some myself. Here are my attempts so far.
This first one is a pretty conventional necklace, nothing special going on here just threading some beads through some silver wire and attaching some fasteners.

This second one is a little bit more unusual as I crocheted it (after being inspired by something that Craftyrainbowhead suggested
) It is fastened at the back with a regular necklace clasp which I’ve just tied the yarn onto. This is a very fine crochet yarn and I used a 2mm hook. The pattern was a border suggestion from the squares book that I keep banging on about.

Next on my crafty list is card making - I’m way behind on this so I should have some pictures soon of my endeavors.

Well wear oh crafty maiden you.
Your version looks better than its inspiration.
Sweet.
