My MSE jewellery!

I make jewellery as a hobby and I made my wedding jewellery using the beads from the matching bag that came with my dress.

What do you think? Jewellery is so hard to photograph so its not a great photo.

  • yes its using exactly the same beads so it will match perfectly!

    The bag would have gone to waste otherwise, now its being used as jewellery and as a craft tool bag!

    Well done:T

    My job is a jewellery designer so I also made my own necklace for my wedding.

    Think of the money you've saved;)

    hope you don't mind me asking but roughly how much did they cost to make?
  • a few pounds, the cost of the findings and thread which wasnt much at all. I would say no more than 2 pounds with having the beads already, they dont really count
