Ingredients

6*8mm red pearl beads,

8*6mm red pearl beads,

2 Silver plated earring findings,

1 Silver plated lobster clasp,

16inch silver plated chain.

11 eye pin's

2 Headpins

 

First I put all of the 6mm red pearl beads onto eye pins, trimmed the remaining wire one the other end of the pin to roughly around 1cm and using a pair of ring nosed pliers made that end into a loop. I them again repeated this on 4 of the 8mm pearl beads. The remaining two 8mm I put on the two head pins again cutting the remaining wire to 1cm and created a loop.

Working with the pattern of a 6mm pearl followed by a 8mm pearl and then again a 6mm pearl, I connected these by adding 1 and a half inches of chain in between each of the beads until I reached the last of the pearls allocated to the necklace. I the split the remaining chain in two and placed at either end of the beads and placed a lobster clasp on the end.

 

To make the matching earrings I linked the two 8mm pearls that were on head pins to the remaining 2 6mm pearls and then linked other end of the 6mm pearls to the earrings.

This then created this necklace and earring set.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pink Friends

 

This card is made using basic white card stock at 300gsm, a pink blossom 250gsm card and a card and topper from the Kanban Language of flowers kit.

I first folded the white card blank in half using a scoring board and a bone folder to make a A5 basic card blank, I then cut the pink card to just over  an A5 mat, then I cut the Kanban backing card to half an inch smaller than the pink card mat.

I cut another two inch strip of the pink card and a one and three quarters inch of the Kanban backing card and matted them together. I then took my topper and created a mate again with the pink card, that was half an inch bigger than my topper to create a mat to lift the topper.

Once I put this all together I added colour matching gems on two corners to balance the card.

This is the end card. I hope you like it.
