Nothing Says Class Like Pearls

The other day out of impulse I bought a strand of pearl beads. I have no idea bc I've never even liked pearls but for some reason I just wanted a bracelet. Then I WAS FEATURED (YAYYYYYYY) on Hoo's Got Talent. I was looking through her blog post at her other featurees and saw this: Ribbon Necklace and Bracelet

I decided it was adorable and went that route with my pearls.

I only did the bracelet like the picture because with the smaller beads I used it was a real pain in the you know what to get every ribbon curl to be the same size. Plus I didn't have the right needle. Therefore, I kept the necklace simple. 

I wore the bracelet, the necklace, a purple shirt, and this purple headband. I looked very classy! HAHA. 

Washer Jewelry

I saw a blog that had some washer jewelry. I'm a big fan of making things out of odd materials so I knew I had to try it. I also added a fabric flower on mine to add my own touch. All I did to make the flower was cut a strip of the teal fabric and sew in and out down one side. Pull it tight and it curls and makes a flower shape. Sewed it close and hot glued the buttons on.

This picture was taken before i decided to add the flower. Not so sure I like how it looks on.

After I added the flower. The final piece.

Flower up close.

After that necklace I had one washer remaining. So I took some paper left from here and E-6000'd it onto the washer. After it dried I coated it with diamond glaze and let dry again. Then, I strung it and added a red bow for a feminine touch. I like this one.

I'm obsessed with this damask pattern!
