Two is Better Than One

Just a quick little post today folks ☺ but I think its a good one. Once again, I wanted to share with you a design that I happen to stumble upon this past week that I'm pretty excited about.

Double drilled beads can be quite a challenge to work with, they are great for bracelets, but singly....hummmm?  I just happen to thread some thin leather cord through the holes and realized I had a ready made hoop to hang what ever my little heart desired.  From there I discovered I could also utilize tiny silver bails that hug the stone when pulled tight with the leather.  It adds nice character and loop for hanging glass or charms too.  If your eco-friendly and leather is not your thing, hemp, wax cord or even wire could be substituted as well.

Hope this brings some new ideas into your creative time if you have any double drilled beads laying around.  I was almost ready to ditch them, so glad I didn't, now I'm on the search for more, ☺

Enjoy your day, thanks for stopping by and we will see you again in two weeks!!

Toile Earrings

After all the work I did to get these earring charms ready, I finally have something to show for it! My new Shabby Chic Earrings!
I really enjoyed making these. I wanted them to reflect my love of all things French! I think I accomplished that!

 I made three colours of charms, so I felt it was appropriate to make three pairs of earrings, one in each colour! I love the mix of the Shabby Chic with the dark metal!

 A little bit of elegance mixed with rustic charm! I think these will look lovely on any earlobe! Hope you agree! You will find them in my ETSY SHOP! Of course if you just have to make your own the charms are also available in my other ETSY SHOP ;)

Thanks for stopping by!
