Lariath- Live a Little.

Hi! I decided to go back a few years and try my hand at friendship bracelet making again, just because my wrists have been looking a bit boring recently. I had to do a lot of YouTube watching to figure out how to make them, it's been years. To start off I made a candy stripe bracelet, just something simple to start off with: Here's a tutorial and pattern for a candy stripe bracelet:  http://friendship-bracelets.net/tutorial.php?id=12 I think this pattern is a good one to start of with, it's simple but effective. Very repetitive to make which is good for practice and there are no complicated bits!  After a bit of practice I decided to try my first ever alpha pattern. I thought alpha patterns were complicated to make...either I picked a really easy one or they are not particularly difficult. I suppose they get a bit harder when you need to add new colours half way down the pattern etc. The one I chose was just two colours.  I cut 18 strands of green...

To make a change from crochet I decided to buy some wire. 20ga purple wire to be exact. I have always liked ear cuffs and thought I'd try to make some, only simple ones obviously. So my first try was this: I made it by following this tutorial:  http://shealynns-faerie-shoppe.blogspot.nl/2012/07/simple-ear-cuff-tutorial.html?m=1 It didn't take long to make at all and it's quite easy to follow. I added the stone from a broken bracelet that I had lying around. Then I tried another cuff seen as I made that one really quickly: I made this cuff from studying one on the Internet but there was no tutorial. This wasn't as easy to make, getting it evenly spaced was tricky.  I think I prefer the first one I made but here's a picture of them both being worn:  Enjoy this post?
