I needed a little something to give to my friend Chris for her birthday last week (always younger than me, dammit!). Her favorite color is lime green so I got these beads at Michael's and made her a bracelet. I even managed to find all my tools, a clasp, etc. easily, although I brought the stuff up to the living room to make, because my craft room is still not habitable.
I haven't made any jewelry in ages and when I do, I'm always worried about how well the piece will hold up. But miraculously, the crimp beads crimped on the first try and everything seems to be sturdy.
I even have some beads left over to make matching earrings.
Love,
Shayne
Yay for crafting! Cute bracelet -- did she like it?
ReplyDeleteSo when is your craft room going to be able to be reclaimed, anyway?!
She liked it very much and put it right on!
ReplyDeleteI don't know when my room will be completely cleared out. If it was small stuff he'd left, I would just gather it up and dump it on his desk, but there's entire computers and whatnot. Grrr.
