See, told ya' I'd have more to share! These ones are just from kits I liked or ones I wanted to learn from - Artbeads and Oriental Trading Co.
These are just a few bracelets I made from kits from OTC. I plan to make some stitch markers with the same kits. After all OTC packages come in bundles, and I don't actually need 12 of the same bracelet right? And can't let cute beads go to waste! :)
Next up, a few brooches (pins) also from OTC. And again, the stitch markers I made with the leftover kits. The light green pin is one I just put together myself. Personally, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the bookworms and the "Love to Read" charms, as those just fit so well with both me personality and my job and career aspirations :)
This kit is from Artbeads, to learn how to make a beaded bail. I like the design of the necklace, but I think I'm going to find some new ribbon that matches the beads and pendant a little more to my taste. Personally, the ribbon is a little too green, though not quite as green as in the picture below. It's just not quite as teal as the beads, so I think I can find a ribbon that matches a little better to replace it...
After doing the kit above, I used the beaded bail technique to add the stone heart pendant to a ribbon necklace I had. Just black beads, to coordinate with the black ribbon. Nothing special in the construction, other than it was a chance to practice a new technique for me :)
This one isn't a kit either, but might have well as been. It's just a basic leather cord with endings, to which I added a stone pendant I liked which I found on sale. About as simple as can be!
