Before I get started on the earrings I need to mention that first the Himmeli inspired me to make Christmas tree decorations. I have done the decorations and those turned out really cool, but I want to photograph them in an appropriate environment. Since I don't have a Christmas tree yet I want to get a branch from outside for the shooting or then actually go outside to shoot (which will be cold and dark). I don't really see why I want to go through all that trouble just photographing some decorations, but I do.
After I had done the tree decorations I had some material still left. Also I had some earring hooks at home. I used glass tube beads, similar to these, and silver coloured thin wire. Those were really simple to make but they make a big impact. I like them a lot.
Freakingly difficult to get a photo of your face without showing your face by the way.
They look ace!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThose are beautiful! I might just have to make a pair for myself :)
ReplyDeleteGo ahead! And thanks
DeleteThose earrings look beautiful Leena! Great job!
ReplyDeleteThank you Nina!
DeleteHaha, the picture is very effective. :) The earrings are so pretty. You make them sound easy too, but the last thing I need is one more craft hobby to start right now. I love that you used the leftovers from one project for 2 more projects too.
ReplyDeleteOh but they were easy! About 15 min a pair, or even less (that does not include buying the supplies). I still have a few of those tubes, annoying to have just few so nothing can be done from those.
DeleteThey are so modern and cool looking...much like your Himmeli.
ReplyDeleteModern and cool are just what I was aiming for, so thank you.
DeleteOoooo, i definitely want to make these now! what a great idea using the long bugle beads! love them.
ReplyDeleteAh that is what the beads are called! No wonder I had bit of trouble finding those using word tube bead.
DeleteI hope you enjoy making those.
