Hiya

Most people buy the rings ready made - you can buy them on ebay or other craft places. They are wire hoops with the wire bent into a sort of clip type bit to secure the ornaments. You can then thread your beads, charms etc onto the hoop.

Oh I have found my camera lead! I am going to add the pic of my challenge make in a minute

First I jus wanted to show you all a set I made for my great Aunts 80th Birthday. I have never made a necklace before and wasnt intending on making one but after I made the bracelet I thought I would just give it a go. Being 80 is such a special birthday I really wanted something she could keep so felt a complete set was better. Im really happy with how it all turned out and my great Aunt loved them too! She may be 80 but she doesnt look a day over 60! I hope you all like it




And my entry into this weeks challenge is below:



I have a wonder best friend whom is extremely loyal, thoughtful and brutally honest! She loves to sew and has recently started getting her sewing mojo back, and she also loves to read and has farrrrrrr too many books! (She sometimes MSE stalks me hence why Im being so nice hahaha). When I was thinking of what to make for this weeks challenge I couldnt think of a better person to make for as I love her more than I can describe, plus I had some mini bookmarks I had bought in a bulk order and had yet to try out! And I had also bought some Singer sewing machine charms! So there ya go, above is the result

The pics I took of last weeks challenge didnt come out very well (settings on the camera were complertely wrong) and are far too blurred so I will have to get the person I gave the bracelet to as a gift to take a picture for me!

I cant wait for the next challenge

I was going to use mem wire cut down a little, one end bent to a 90 degree angle and the other a loop, I was going to thread a few pink pearl beads and a silver charm on each one.

Kandipandi

Giggles I love that bookmark loads, beads in my fave colour and a sewing machine! Can I ask where you got the sewing machine charms from?
Your necklace and bracelet are fab too, I'm not suprised your Aunt liked them!
