First one is from the stylish, chic Valley Girl, Maegan.
I really love this one because it looks expensive. Would you believe that it’s only curtain tiebacks? That shiny surface of the rope adds elegance to the finish product.
Maegan is kind enough to share her tutorial and learn how to make the knot.
Another interesting accessory is this Grain’s Hand-Knotted Ring.
They’re made of old electric wire. So, don’t throw just, yet your used electric wire. You can make a ring out of it, a bracelet even or a necklace.
To make the ring you just need nose pliers, wire cutter, ring mandrel and reclaimed electric wire. Head over to ecouterre for Grain’s free tutorial.
Now, Rio Grande has made a lot of tutorials and had shared great tips. Here’s one interestingvideo tutorial on how to make a bracelet using tape measure.
This piece was challenging for me for a lot of different reasons. It all started with the dichroic cabochon. I actually bought it last spring, and I made several attempts to work on it, but I had never worked with a cabochon before, and the learning process took me awhile! Plus I kept getting side-tracked with other projects. I finally sat down in August and figured out what I was doing.
