Made some Jewellery.. What do you think?

hayleythedaisy

Some of you contributed on a thread yesterday where I asked for ideas for my bridesmaids and my jewellery.
Well I decided to make my own for them, and ordered the bits yesterday...
Had a quick bash this morning and would love some opinions/advice?
Thanks
These are their dresses


as a choker...

this is a hermatite bead
as is this


these are both as sparklie - just didn't take a great pic the second time


All comments/critisms welcome. And if anyone knows what I could use instead of thread in the last two that would be great!

I love the last two!! Is there a thinner ribbon that could be used?? Will do some research though

Thanks, I'm glad you said that, they are my favourite.
I thought about that, but the beads only just fitted the needle through them. Wondered about some kind of nylon or wire but liked having it blue.

I like the last two and the choker, but im all for a bit of sparkle.

blue wire, but will it be too stiff??

I love the last two too! Can you get blue cord? I think it's cord, they're tied a certain way to make the necklace alterable. Or could you get a think chain?

I like the first one, very classy. If you're going for either of the last 2 what about that transparent stuff so that the beads look as if they are hovvering.............I've not said this right but I know what I mean :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I just think if you have something blue and that hangs low it's going to be looking a bit fussy with the straps and flowery thing.

Thanks for your help everyone. Gonna go for the last one.
Catsy, that stuff may well be perfect. Thanks :-)
Savvy - I tried it first of all with clear and it didn't work very well, they looked a bit odd hanging there! I think if there was more beads it would work brilliantly.

For anyone thinking of doing it - have a go! it was so cheap to do!
The hearts are 85pence each... The small beads are 20 for £1.40 and they are all swarovski.
To make 2 of the last one, I think would be about £7 with wire and clasps etc. With plenty of clasps and wire left over!

I used www.silvermoonbeads.com and really can't recommend them highly enough. I ordered yesterday afternoon, they arrived today. And I didn't know how to do it so I called them and they explained things over the phone. Absolutely brilliant! And only £1 P&P. (I don't work for them lol)

Looking good, just be careful of the crystal bicones cutting the thread, they are a bu66er for that. If you want to make them like an illusion necklace, where it looks like they just hover there, then use fishing line (it's the same stuff that is sold as beading line)
