Hi Guys,

Hi all, just thought I would share something I have made for my Aunt for Christmas this year.
I am still pretty new to jewellery making, and this one is one of the most simple bracelets that can be made, so be kind please

Though, I have had a couple of enquiries about how much I would sell them for, I do have an amount in mind but I'm not sure?? What would you charge for something similar, or what would you pay? Please be honest! {I will tell you what it cost to make and what I would charge later }

Anyways here it is, I have included a couple of pics as the colour wasn't showing up as vibrant as it is in real life! But they are all purple beads, some slightly different than the others, but her birthstone is Amethyst, so thought it would be perfect!

Soulie That's gorgeous! If I wanted one like that I would pay £15 for it. HTH

Hi everyone

I love this thread so much!!! I am a very new "homemade" maker but would love to include some homemade gifts in my gifts for christmas this year, Im just not sure where to start. i have started a sock monkey but not entirely sure it will work out as sewing it by hand!!! Just wondered if anyone had any ideas to get me started and kick off my makes...feel bit overwhelmed by all your great items and think im worried that whatever i start will be a failure!!

Sorry thats sounds like a im a weirdo ha ha....just dont want to have it all go wrong i think...

thanks in advance x
