I recently completed a bead stringing class at the local adult evening school. This was my first project (and only completed project to date). It involved “upcycling” a necklace I already had (with the paper beads) by replacing the string with wire, adding seed beads and a blue stone, and creating a button clasp. I was also able to incorporate a shoe clip (that had been passed down from my mom) as one of the key focal elements. I enjoy creating functional from dysfunctional jewelry and have already worn my necklace twice!
Very nice. The colors blend nicely. I love the large blue stone at the end.
Thanks, Jenn. I agree…the large blue stone at the end made it come together.
I like the blue stone. Have you thought about having another business? You could make and sell these online.
Thanks, Chris…It would be fun but I already have my hands full. So many people are creating and selling beautiful jewelry online. Check out Etsy.com.
