Merfish necklace. If you have been following this blog or my etsy shop you know that the merfish are very hot commodities. No sooner do they swim into the shop then they are on their way out again traveling to far off exotic locations. I have been wanting to share how to make them with you for a while now. The only thing I ask is that if you make them for yourself, your family and friends, PLEASE DON"T SELL THEM. That just wouldn't be nice. This tutorial is very similar to the last one for the rock fish except it is made with a much smaller stone, a tiny little crochet hook and very thin crochet cotton. You might find as I did that it requires reading glasses or magnifiers to work at this tiny scale.
Here is what you will need: a suitable merfish shaped smooth stone, or sea glass crochet cotton size 10 a crochet hook size 1.25 or 1.50 mm a needle scissors glasses ( optional ) Step I : Measure the circumference of your stone at its widest point and make a chain the same length. Step 7: Crochet one row. Zipper-Halskette. Die Idee zu dieser Zipperkette lieferte mir (jetzt bitte festhalten!) Der Teppichhändler, der für das monegassische Hochzeitspaar (Charlene Wittstock und Fürst Albert) den roten Teppich anfertigte. So eine ähnliche Kette trug er nämlich bei einem seiner zahlreichen „Hochzeit-Interviews“.

Guest post tutorial by Jenny Hoople of Authentic Arts. Want to learn how to drill holes in beach stones? Well, I’ve got good news for you: it’s pretty easy and I’d love to tell you how it’s done. I’ve been making this natural stone jewelry for several months with pre-drilled pebbles that I purchased from fellow Etsy artisans.

You’ll need: Start by separating the jump rings into two halves: 175 open and 175 closed. Thread three closed jump rings onto an open jump ring. Close the ring. Spread the three rings apart, with the rings looking exactly as shown below. The bottom ring will be the end of the necklace and the top two rings, which are spread open over the middle ring, will be where the chain mail begins. Keeping the rings in place with your forefinger and thumb, take an open jump ring and hook it through the front side of the two rings. Add 2 closed rings to the open ring and close. Spread the two rings apart in the same way as the first set of rings.
Add 2 closed rings and close. To add an optional fourth row, lay the necklace flat and hook an open ring through first and second closed rings on the right side. I stopped at 4 rows but you can continue adding rows for a more bib-like necklace. Connect the two ends with a single jump ring or clasp. Fini!

It’s been fun coming up with different ideas. Here’s the latest. I made a clock (which I’ll post later). Some how I ended up having extra hands so I decided to make a necklace using them. I spray painted one black and one white, just for fun. Then I super glued them together to hold them in position. Added the jump ring and strung it on a chain. Isn’t it cute?

Hardware Store Necklace. April 27, 2011 7:52 am I was really inspired by a couple of these necklaces that I had seen on the runways this year. After taking a closer look at them I knew I could make something similar.
Here’s what you’ll need from your local hardware store: -varying sized washers -bike chain -gold metal wire I also needed extra gold chain. First, tie a ribbon to make your bike chain connect. This will be the strong base of your necklace. Spray them gold on both sides. Now, attach a piece of your chain to the bike chain and begin stringing the washers by wrapping around them once. Keep stringing them until you get the heaviness you want for your look. Look how great the completed project looks! (my sister, Francesca was here from Arizona so I got a fresh faced model!) This entire project cost me about $7 and took me about 20 minutes. Who knew bike chains and washers could be so chic?
