holiday planning: thursday jewelry update 1

Heyy, today is Thursday, and originally my planning was to show you every Thursday one kind of jewelry. So today was planned for braceets, next weeks necklaces. But then I thought, a jewelry update would be better, because in the rest of the vacation, I'm gonna make more bracelets. So I'll do an update every Thursday. I didn't made a lot of jewelry (or other creative things) lately, but I had ordered some things on etsy. They were mockingjay pendants, but they weren't the right size, so I had to think of something else to make of them. So I did. This update is about the jewelry I made, but I also want to show a necklace I bought in Turkey two month ago.

Here they come:

This is a Mockingjay necklace. The pendant should be bigger, but I already ordered the larger ones, so I thought I could also make a smaller version.


I also made bracelets of them. First I didn't knew how, because on internet, you saw suede cords knotted around the sides. But I didn't want to do that, because than you see the ring of the pendant. On internt you see the ring too, but I think it looks stupid. But than I got the idea to make the knot over the ring, so you can't see it anymore. I think they look very cool.


I also made a bracelet with a button. It is an old button, with a loop on the back side to sew it on cloths. When you cut the loop of, you can make a bracelet of it. It looks just like a connector.


Off course you can use a lot of things as a connector. I used big golden chain. I also have big neon pink chain, but it was too big and it wouldn't fit around my wrist. So I used this chain.


I wanted to make a tougher mockingjay bracelet, so I wanted to use leather cord to make a braid. But I can't braid with four cords. My mom tried to teach me, but I didn't understand it, so I made my own kind of braid. I haven't seen it on internet yet, but basically you have four cords, but you braid like you do with three because the middle part is two strings.


Close up picture from the braid.


I made this directioner necklace. You can buy this charm everywhere without the necklace, and it's not hard to make.


I made this braided bracelet with two suede cords and chain. I saw simular things on internet one time, so I wanted to make one myself.


I made a headband with leather strips. I attached some sort of end cap with a loop to the ends of the strips, and connected them with a piece of elastic jewelry cord. I also have a neon pink one, but the picture is kind of weird, because it looks like my shoulder is out of joint.


This is the necklace I bought in Turkey. It's a pair of glasses and a pencil attached to a blue ball chain necklace. It was quite expensive, but I totally love it.
P.S. look how tanned my legs are :)

I hope you liked this jewelry update. Tomorrow I'm going to show you some outfits, so keep waiting!
