This is the third video in what is currently a recurring series of jewelry-making. I plan to share these videos at least once a month (but there’s always the possibility for more!)
Just like the first two videos, I turned to my “bead box” for the designs. However, in this video, I create a pair of earrings and a necklace using beads, buttons, wire, and jewelry findings.
The earrings come first and are made with matching violet buttons and seed beads. For the necklace, I start by wire-wrapping a metal loop that we use in the bead-stack pendant. Then, I share how I create the long chain with beads and wire.
You can find an assortment of my jewelry, art, and cards at Hello Gallery in Fairhope, AL. Find them on Instagram: instagram.com/hellofairhope
and on Facebook: facebook.com/hellofairhope
As well, other pieces are available on Etsy: etsy.com/shop/CraftyHope
More about my bead box and previous versions of it can be found on my blog. But, here’s the last post I did about it there: craftyhope.com/2024/03/bead-box-18-reveal.html
