Vintage Tart Tin + Scrap Beads = Garden Suncatcher

 

Last week at the thrift store I found some fun mini tart tins and couldn't wait to turn one into a beaded suncatcher for my garden. 

It's the perfect way to use up scrap beads and odds & ends beads left over from old projects.

 If you make jewelry then you might be like me with lots of little bowls or dishes around my workbench filled with orphaned beads. This project is a great way to put those beads to use! 

Check out the full tutorial here!

New Video Tutorial: Easy Soft Soldered Pendant

 

Hey friends, I have a fun and relatively easy soldering project for you this week on my YouTube channel! 

If you ever had some stones or crystals that you wanted to turn into jewelry but they didn't have holes to use as beads or to thread anything through, then this project is for you!

I use a cabochon in my project that I demonstrate in the video, but you can use this technique on many different stones and crystals as I said. 

As always, beneath the video in the description I list all of the tools and materials you need to make this project.

Head on over to my YouTube channel and check it out!

Make With Me! Chunky Stone Soft-Soldered Necklace Tutorial

 

I said I would be releasing a new video every Friday on my YouTube channel, but I think I am going to release this one a day early because tonight they are calling for snow and ice—lots of ice!—and I'd hate to lose power and not be able to upload it for you!

I'm excited about this next project and I think you are going to love it! I think that a beginner could do it but you should know the basics first and of course have all the tools and materials needed for the project (I always list all of those in the description below the video, by the way.)

In this video I demonstrate how to turn something as simple as wire and a few beads into an amazing necklace that you can personalize, just using a simple soldering iron!

I teach this technique step-by-step, and you can follow along and work at your own pace - that's what I love about videos! I hope you join me for this one and while you're there don't forget to subscribe!
