New Addition
I have a problem with my magazine collection where I have wasted hours looking for a project that I have seen in one of my magazines. I have almost all of the Inspirations magazines as well as a small collection of Enbroidery and Cross Stitch and Quilting magazines. I have started a catalogue of projects which I thought may help other people as well, whether you have your own collection of these magazines or are searching for a particular issue...

I wanted something special for a Christmas present. Then I was going through my old jewellery and found my pearls and amber and remembered at the same time I'd bought a few different gemstone beads, so I decided to make something.
Difficulty: Easy Total Time: 1 hour
These aren't hard to make, they're just fiddly. I never knew that hand crafted jewellery could look this good though. I really like using jump rings and head pins. I bought myself some earring hooks and silver chain as well as the pretty heart spacer charms and put it all together with some real garnet and real peridot. The only other things needed are two pairs of small pliers and a bit of patience coupled with some creativity. The first set are garnet (2 x 6mm and 18 x 4mm), 2 heart accents, 10 head pins, 12 jump rings and 2 earring hooks.
The second set are peridot (2 x 5mm, 6 x 4mm), 2 jump rings, silver chain and 2 earring hooks.
