Follow the steps below to make your own. Materials: • Thin wire hanger (you can also use an 18 gauge floral wire)• 1 yard of fabric strip (about 1 inch wide)• Wire cutters • Scissors Steps:• Using wire cutters, cut off the bottom of the hanger.
DIY Geek Valentine's Day Idea - 8-Bit Heart Necklace Set - Our Nerd Home. It’s Dangerous to go Alone! Make this DIY 8-bit heart necklace set in ten minutes. Things you might know: We love 8-bit hearts (here…here), and Shrinky Dinks are awesome (we made some Shrinky Dink cameo necklaces, here). Combine those things, and you get this quick geeky DIY project.
Start with PRINTABLE Shrinky Dinks. They go through your regular inkjet printer. In addition to Shrink Plastic, you need two necklace chains and 2 jump rings (Joann or Michael’s will have them), and optional clear coat spray. Print this out full size (test it first on regular paper, before using the plastic): Here it is as a PDF, which might work better: 8-bit-heart-necklace The reason there are four 8-bit hearts there is because sometimes Shrinky Dinks laugh in your face and ruin themselves for no reason (by curling up in a weird tight ball that won’t open, or twisting themselves all around). Once they’re printed, cut the shapes out. Bake according to package instructions, doing one set at a time. Phoenix Tail Knot - Chinese Decorative Knot for Accessory Making.

DIY JEWELED HOLIDAY ROPE NECKLACE. 16th December 2013 I have to admit that at the beginning of December something clicked and since then I’ve been unashamedly donning as much sparkle as possible. This magpie style penchant for all the pretty pretties seems to be an inclination that strikes like clockwork, as soon as the holiday period comes around.
If you can’t cover yourself in glue and roll in glitter before you go out at this time of year, when can you? Recently Swarovski and I got together to work on a holiday accessory using their new Swarovski Elements beads, and it was the perfect timing – their new beads are about as sparkly as one can get without being dangerous, and so I set about creating something to wear on Christmas Day. The result was this necklace, shiny and bright in more ways than one, and just as perfect for wearing with a simple sweater as with a top-to-toe sequin dress. Pin It Pin It You need: Pin It 1.

It looks like I become a little obsesed with picks lately :D I got a new idea of making a jewelry, which can be also useful for something. I created this pendant from wire, which is holding a detachable plectrum inside. Things you'll need: - pencil and paper - plectrum - wire (you can use a different type of wire. Instructions: - Draw down your plectrum and design your pattern - cut a piece of wire and start forming it - attach a metal ring and hang it on a leather string - (you can slightly upgrade your design as I did, because of tough wire) - You can also paint it, but I like the metalic look of the wire - insert your pick into the pendant - proudly wear it!
