Craft Update

So apparently planning a wedding and having a fiance/husband live states away has taken up a lot of my time. I haven't done too many crafts in that time but hopefully I can catch up on what I have done.

Wedding Party Gifts

I made this mugs for my bridal party. Since each was from a different state they received a mug with their state's outline and a mug of Tennessee. 

Christmas Gifts: Embroidered Initial Necklaces

For Christmas this year I wanted to try my embroidery skills. I was inspired by ones I had seen on Etsy so I ordered some supplies and practiced my stitches!

Necklaces

For gifts this spring I created a few longer chain necklaces. I asked for input on colors and then created unique necklaces for each recipient.

 

Jewelry Sets

This summer I was asked to put together a few sets of necklaces and earrings for gifts. Thankfully, I did take pictures of these! I used glass beads and wire to create the necklaces, and glass beads for the earrings as well. (Tip: buying an assortment of beads is cheaper, but it can be VERY hard to find matches!)

UT Pendants

This is the first of a series of posts with pictures of glass pendants I have created. I'll kick things off with a few Tennessee themed pendants - orange of course! Each glass pendant comes with a silver bail attached (shown in 3rd photo) for necklaces.

Stay tuned for more!
