Beaded Hairband

I made this wire beaded hairband  using simple five strand wire weaving . It turned out fabulous. It will be a good gift for little girls.

Materials used:
 20 gauge wire gold colour
Czech glass beads size 6/0 color emerald
Nose plier
Wire cutter

kumihimo wire bracelet

Happened to see an awesome kumihimo wire bracelet YouTube tutorial and  wanted to try it immediately. So I ran to nearby  Joann's  and bought wire and beads.
But the kumihimo board that is  needed to make the bracelet was not available in my area so I made my own kumihimo board with cardboard and made the bracelet. Nothing can stop me  once I eyed on making something .

It is pretty easy to make if you make it with  medium fine wire. Mine was 20 Guage so I had tough time weaving it. Somehow I managed to put it together without having kumihimo board. It came out OK  .It was not bad for a first try.

Materials used :
1. Gold color wire 20 gauge
2. Czech glass beads size 6/0 color emerald
3. Nose pliers and wire cutters

Card for CASology

This is my first card after coming to USA . Visited Joanns fabric lately and grabbed some basic stuffs for paper crafting . With the materials I had I believed I could draft a clean and simple card without much embellishment and layers. The cue word for this week is Dizzy. I have tried to match the theme with the hand drawn and colored boat image..
