Who says you can only find jewelry making supplies at the craft or bead store? I often have fun poking around in my local hardware store, seeing what there is that I can find alternate uses for. I went looking for copper…
Here’s yet another design with a myriad of possibilities. I love the idea of using a finer chain, like 2-3mm links, and long seed bead dangles. Do them in turquoise, red, yellow & copper for a southwestern vibe. If you want…
