Beaded Key Rings – day 221
We have a fun project today, using key rings as jewelry links that you can make into bracelets or necklace. Usually, big bold links are expensive! Wire wrapping key rings with wire and adding beads to it transforms them into designer like jewelry.
Enjoy the how-to video.
I love turning ordinary household items into jewelry, they challenged your imagination. Do you have any ideas you would like to share?
Felted Pair – day 220
Do you sometimes feel like painting your toes in different colors? Well, these felted earrings not your usual “pair”. I wanted to make something fun my way of saying ; don’t take life too seriously! The tiny round paper beads in citrus colors were the perfect match.
Wear them with purple sweater and you are ready to put a smile on everybody’s faces:)
Hand Painted Kokeshis – day 219
These hand painted kokeshi dolls (Japanese dolls) is another work of art by Manou. If you remember, Manou made the matryoskas in a similar fashion. I just loved these little faces they are soooo cute!
They remind me of that designer fragrance with the cute Japanese faces:) Something that can be worn by women of all ages. Manou is making more for me and when I get it I will have one pair giveaway and put the rest on etsy.
