I'm addicted!
I'm totally addicted to beading. I took a little trip to the craft store yesterday. I won't tell you how much I spent, but I got a good amount of stuff to play around with. I already have some stretchy braclets to sell at craft fairs, but I wanted to try my hand at some pretty, soft flex wire jewelry.
I made this for myself:. There are earrings too, but they're not in the picture.
And one for my sister for her birthday next week. Here's a closeup of the necklace:
I also made her a bracelet and earrings, and one of those cute 'wine glass charms' - basically a beaded hoop with a charm that you put around the stem of your wineglass (or neck of your beer bottle) so you can tell which one is yours. I got a dolphin charm for it, it's cute. I made a few more to put on the craft fair table, I'll sell them for $2 each. Considering they're made from extra beads and charms, not a bad way to make a little money from the extra stuff.
And please forgive my dirty tablecloth - I need a new one, but with a five year old it's almost not worth it. So what do you think? I'm thinking of doing some to sell as part of my craft fair stuff next year. What would you pay for something like this? Do you think I'd do better to sell separates or sets, or a little of both?
If nothing else, it's totally fun.
