Beaded lattice bracelet



I love seed beads. There are a million ways of making jewelry with those tiny pieces. Today my project is the lattice beaded bracelet in orange and blue. I used a big bead as a clasp

Chainmaille Celtic star

Recently my princess has been going crazy about the ice princess...from the movie Frozen. For her birthday she wanted something from the Movie. So I created few things for her.
1. Rainbow loom Elsa figurine which was about 2.5-3 inches tall and a pain to make. It took me 3 hours

2. I got a dress with Elsa on it
3. I made a celtic star with chain maille which looks like the snow flake Elsa wears in the movie.

So...she was thrilled.

And as a bonus I made Princess Jasmine for my Niece as a back to school gift for her back pack

Tubular netted Beaded Bracelet

So...Its been quite some time that I made anything with my favorite kind of beads-seed beads. I was searching and searching for some inspiration and I finally found it. The netted beaded bracelet.

I used red seed beads and size 6 green beads because I did not have enough bicones. But my bracelet is FAB. I found the tutorial on YouTube. But the bracelet is soooooo simple to make. My princess loved it sooooooo much that she wanted one for her own. So I made one for her without a clasp so that she will not loose it accidentally and mine is with the clasp. So, here is it, the mommy and me bracelets

Gift bag

The other day I went shopping for gift bags to give the ruffles scarf I made as gift to one of my kid'd teachers. But then I thought a hand made gift looks great in a hand made bag. So I made this gift bag which measures 7x7x3 inches. 

I used magazine papers and Christmas wrapper cutouts. The bag looks great. The pattern is from howaboutorange.blogspot.com.

Chainmaille chrysanthemum

I was looking for something to make like a pendant or a center piece for my bracelet. My first choice was a heart but then I found a very nice Chrysanthemum chain maille pattern.

Full Persian Chain maille Bracelet

I have been wanting to make a chain maille lariat for a long time and I kept on searching for the eave which will make a long chain look good. Finally I found the Full Persian Chain maille weave and I started it. Bit I grew impatient and I made a bracelet out of the chain I had made already. Next will be lariat

And I made a Chrysanthemum with the weave pattern I found here. This is the center point of my bracelet for which I used a toggle clasp to close
