…compilation of tutorials
If it’s cold outside I confess that I often wear tights and when they become eventually laddered I always find it a pity to throw them away.
And I won’t in the future because I found an instruction on how to make a necklace out of laddered stockings and tights ;-))
At the moment I’m still wearing them at my legs, but soon…
;-)

I found a tutorial on how to make a Spring Flower Necklace.
Unfortunately I haven’t had time to make it yet, but I really want to in the future.
As you can see on the photo it has daisies just like the Beaded Daisy Chains, but they are beaded in a quite different way.
Really cute, isn’t it?

Aren’t they wonderful?
I couldn’t try the leaves yet but they are quite high on my Just-come-on-list.

I once tried to make such hollow pillow beads, but they collapsed. One day I will try it again, but I think I’ll better make filled beads, they seem to be easier ;-)

I always like to browse art-e-zine. There I found the tutorial for the wire frame bracelet.
I find it beautiful!
On the same site further down is a tutorial for very expressive pendants – I really must try them one day!

Once more a tutorial from craftster: how to make a beautiful necklace from laminated stamps.
I find it looks great and you can making matching necklaces for all purposes.
I’m amazed (as I am so often when browsing craftster :))

It was a real revelation for me because eventually I understood how it works.
But unfortunately my fingers are much to clumsy for this technique – or I am too impatient ;-)
