Necklace Tutorials for you

Necklace tutorials

In the last few months, I have been writing very many tutorials – of different skill levels exclusively for the Favecrafts blog. If you have done any surfing on the net for crafts or recipes or scrapbooking you must have stumbled on to any one of the sites by Prime Publishing like favecrafts or craftpaperscissors or allfreejewelry making. What a lot of you might not know that apart from curating content from great bloggers in different niches and publishing newsletters, that also have blogs that create and present original content.
I have had the good fortune of writing for these blogs a few times now and working with editors like Nicola Pryball, Kayla, Caitlin, Chris and ofcourse Simone hereself ,who first accepted my proposal to write for them.
I have only posted tutorial (links) to the shimmering Sunglasses pendant in my Mother’s day post and Upcycled bottle necklace so far in this blog so I thought of sharing two more with you today.

Necklace Tutorials for you

A simple, easy to make Draw String necklace with red shell talons, pink stone beads, carnelian beads and spacers. Dont let the summer sun scorch you – Have fun at resort or pool parties by being Tribal Chic- Learn to make this Spicy Tribal DIY Statement Necklace

Mixed media mini keepsake book necklace – Mixed media mini keepsake books are all the rage now. They can be converted into jewelry, added to key rings or used as bag charms

I worked with MD metals brass sheet for this project. These sheets are great to be embossed – easy to texture and dont crack like how copper foils do and only require minimal pressure. Plus they lend themselves well to clean cuts so no or only minimal filling is required.

Based on my tutorial, I also created these cool key chains for my parents for their 35th anniversary. I embossed 35 years on the back with their names on the front.Since I wanted the key chains to be really usable (and water resistant), I first wrote a message on the paper inside, applied resin on the paper and wire wrapped them as it was hard to saddle stitch. I think that its a wonderful gift to share with your loved one with personalised messages.

What do you think? Would you try these tutorials?
I hope you found it interesting
Cheers

    I love making draw string necklaces – such projects are so relaxing and ease my mind off (non) trivial worries. Your spicy necklace is gorgeous – the beads do resemble chilies 🙂
    And I must say that is one very thoughtful and beautiful gift for your parents!

    Thanks Maya, you could even crochet a draw string closure. Might look unique

    I love the tribal look! And I have some shell beads but with two holes, so I have to come up with a variation of the design 🙂

    you can maybe leave the second hole as is or add a drop to them? or may be string them using wire with beads in the interval to look like a collar necklace?

    I was thinking of that second option, Divya 🙂
