I tried taking some pictures but they're all blurry! DX
I'm posting a few, but don't be expecting amazingness lol
I don't know if you can tell, but that's a bracelet I made! It uses beads that look like turquiose and grey marble, along with some silver beads. They give it a sort of earthy, Native American look!
These are a few examples of the jewellry wire I use. The black and light silver are .3 mm wire. This kind of wire is good for bending into things such as charms, ear cuffs, an other small accessories. If you want to buy some, it's easily found at Michael's or basically any other craft store. Be careful not to get bead stringing wire though, as it won't hold a shape at all.
Note on beads~ You don't have to use the expensive, glass beads! I use plastic beads that look like glass, but are much cheaper. Another type of bead I enjoy are the plastic beads made to look like crystals. They go surprisingly well with the 'glass' beads!
If you want an ear cuff tutorial to be posted, comment below! :)

Cool Jewellry Ideas
Hey there! So. I was in a creative mood earlier today, so I decided to make a bracelet or something. I couldn't decide what to make though!
I searched for some cool jewellry making tips and ideas, and I got a lot of great stuff! Of course, this means I have an obligation as a blogger to share it with you!
Magical List of Jewellry Ideas*
1. Combine glass and metallic beads for a cool, new-agey look (Is that even a word?)
2. Use wire and small colored glass beads to make fun shapes and dangle them from a necklace
3. Make an ear cuff** with some colored beads or cool designs
4. Try weaving some different colored jewellry wires together for a fun bracelet! Hint- Use golds and browns for a cool, slightly cultural/Indian looking style, silver and black for a slightly punked-out look, and rainbow colors for flashy fun!
5. Use yarn/cord to make a cool friendship bracelet
Hope these ideas give you some inspiration, they sure gave some to me!
Ciao!
*I'll try to post some pictures tomorrow. And no, these are not truly magic, just fun :)
**If you don't know what this is, then I shall explain! An ear cuff is like an earring that goes in your cartilage, but it doesn't require a piercing. It just slides right onto your ear! I'll also post a tutorial for those sometime this week :D

About Me
Hey there!
My name is Hannah (obviously), and I'm the author of this fine blog! (Again, obviously)
I have a lot of interests, so this may be a pretty varied blog, but that's ok! Nothing's wrong with a little variety :P
