I love beading!!

It’s so wonderful to be able to make jewelry that perfectly compliments any outfit I have. Seriously, if you’ve never tried it, you should. I just bought a book 1 month ago, read about the basics and have been having fun designing some jewelry pieces here and there. Here are two sets I’ve made (from the book mentioned above) to give to my sisters for Christmas this year. Cute and cheap! And I wouldn’t dare post this if they read my blog, but they don’t so here goes.

And here is a bracelet I designed for Angel Girl. But of course I couldn’t wait till Christmas to put it on her.

Seriously, if you like doing homemade gifts, it’s really not hard. Pick up a book and give it a try.

They’re beautiful. Won’t Angel girl eat her bracelet?

The first set is similar to something I have already. I like the one you made better though!

Summer, those are beautiful! I love making jewelry too. I used to be really into it but haven’t pulled out the beads in over a year. You make me want to get back into it. Scratch that, I’m too overwhelmed at the moment. I’ll let them keep on collecting dust until I have more time, hehe.

Those are beautiful, you should put them up for Talk About Tuesday at the Lazy Organizer.

Design is beyond me - give me a pattern to follow and maybe I can eke it out.

Your sisters are going to love them.

Lovely. I’ve been wanting to try my hand at beading, but haven’t yet. Between you and Melissa, I may just get the inspiration I need.

MelissaNovember 10th, 2007 at 1:13 pm

Beautiful!! Where do you get your beads? I too love to make jewelry and I’m always looking for places to get my stuff. :)

One more question - what was the book?? :)

I love that pink bracelet! You should open your own online website to sell these!

ChristineNovember 10th, 2007 at 11:45 pm

Oh my gosh Summer, those are beautiful! I’m with Kailani, you should open your own shop!!
And the pink bracelet is adorable.

Beautiful! I love the first set. Very creative. :)

As soon as I live closer to you, or visit again, we are SOOOOO having a jewelry making night. I love the “beads” you used, very, very cool.
