Weaving. Yup, that’s definitely my craft of the moment.
Since falling back in love with it, I’ve found myself trying out all sorts of weaving variations. Wall hangings. Round embroidery hoop weaving. Microweaving. Woven jewelry. Finding how much of a struggle weaving small tiny wearable art can be, I figured out a quick micro weave necklace hack! Read on to learn more.

So I’ve managed to accumulate an unforgivable amount of thread. I refuse to be called a hoarder, so I’ve been trying to think of ways to use the many skeins that I have. Since I love necklaces so much, I decided to make another bib pendant!
So here’s a craft throwback for you. Do you still have a stash of these? Fuse beads, perler beads, hana beads. Whatever it is that you call them, here are some ideas for how you can use them!

If you’ve been following the blog, you’ll know that there are tons of necklace tutorials on here. Since I got the Cricut Explore, I’ve been meaning to make a cutout bib necklace. I mean, who can say no to a geometric necklace, right? I thought I’d share with you what I came up with. After doodling a few options in my grid notebook, I replicated a pattern onto Photoshop.

Last year, Mansy and I held a couple washi and paper jewelry workshops. One of the projects we taught were these feather earrings. Since we’ve retired the workshop, at least for now, I thought I’d share the how-to for this with you.
So, I came upon a few of these mini jigsaw puzzles at home. I’m not much a fan of small puzzles, or Sophia (?) for that matter, so I decided to make something out of it. BFF Necklaces were all the rage when I was younger. I remember buying this pair of necklaces, each got half a heart with the words Best Friends Forever engraved on it. I think one had Bugs Bunny on it, and the other had the Tazmanian Devil. It was meant to be shared with your one best bud. But what if you have more than one?
Sometime last year, I posted some photos on my then (and again now) Current Craft: Wire Jewelry. I made these Rose-Shaped Wire Rings and those word pendants in script. I’ve owed you guys the tutorial for the wire-wrapped gem pendants, so finally, here it is!
Sometime last year, I got so addicted with wire crafts and jewelry. Making these rose-shaped wire rings were a definite favorite. I started selling them bazaars, even making custom ones on the spot. We included this at last year’s Craft Camp Amazing Craft Race activity.
