Leather Cuff. I don’t usually wear bracelets or cuffs. But when I do, I like them to be big and bold. Can black be bold? I started with a plain one inch wide brass cuff. Cut a piece of leather 2 inches wide by 8 inches long. Tack the leather in place by putting a small amount of glue on the ends of the cuff. Only use a small amount because it will look bumpy under the leather. Fold the ends under, cut the corner of the leather off so it lays down easier and glue it. Break the loop on the back of the button off (I used pliers) and glue it to the top center of the cuff. Lesson learned: For this project I used hot glue because I wanted to finish in a hurry. The real deal: This cuff cost me $7 to make. What about you? Go and be pretty, Make Earrings to Match Your Necklaces PERFECTLY! Ever find that perfect necklace but cannot find the earrings that goes with it? Or if you do find the earrings, its the most hideous thing ever? I have really gotten into chunky necklaces or big statement pieces but at times its hard to find the complete set that actually looks good as a set.
I know you girls know what I'm talking about...I wanted to share a really great and easy idea with you to solve that issue. It takes NO experience in jewelry making or skills. Trust me because I have none. Things you will need:Super glue/hot glue gun or jewelry tacky glueNeedle nose pliersEarring pieces from craft stores or old unused earringsFavorite necklace Below, are earrings pieces that you can find at the jewelry making stores (all over mid-town Manhattan or most craft stores in the jewelry making department). If you do not have the time to visit the craft store, you can use a pair of earrings that you are not using anymore. Remove the wires that held the beads to the necklace. That's it! My blog isn't dead, it was just napping. My first craft show is coming up in about a week - i'll have a teeny booth at missoula's summer MADEfair next sunday. to get ready, i've been hard at work making lots of new yarn and quilt pendants to show off. i'll be setting up with my beaded pieces too, but my pendants are my unique item - and so much cooler in person than in a photo, i think. kerry took some photos of my process so i could share a little about what goes into my soldered pendants. for the yarn pendants, yarn scraps get glued carefully to a piece of heavy paper. i was really excited to try out two new smaller sizes with this batch - little 1" square pendants and medium sized 1.5" long ones. the quilt pendants start with one or two base pieces, and i hand-embroider the surface, either along with or apart from the design on the fabric, a little randomly until it looks finished. i love how they can come out so different from each other with the same basic techniques. i would love to learn some new stitches sometime soon.
Art From Everyday Objects: Paperclips + String | So today I thought it would be a fun challenge to work with paperclips. You can’t get much more mundane than a paperclip! After much thought, I came up with paperclip earrings. If you have paperclips and some pretty cotton string, you can create these beauties. They’d probably look pretty cool as a necklace too. Here is a diagram to show you where to open the paperclip to create this triangular shape. You are basically unbending the clip at all three of the curves. Once you’ve got the triangular shape, you need to glue the ends together. Fig 1: Winding the string around // Fig 2: Starting to wrap the string around the earring, secured with Liquid Stitch Once you’ve wound all the way round and secured with glue, you can then take another length of string and wind around the width of the “earring” creating horizontal stripes or you can create a more messy look by creating a “net” design (see below).
Then just clamp on a pair of earring hooks. Categories: Art, DIY, Fashion. Иголочкой да по пластике. Anthropologie. DIY TUTORIAL and a giveaway! Happy Monday everyone!

Step 9: Once the tube is right side out, put a bead in the tube and center it. Step 10: Make a knot at each end of the bead.
Step 11: Feed another bead into the tube and knot after the bead. Step 12: Sew the ends shut. Step 13: Add flower by gathering strips of the fabric together and sewing the center together. {macramé: half knot spiral} washer & wingnut bracelet. By Kate on October 25, 2011 Hello there!
