Last make before Christmas

I managed to make one last bracelet before the madness that is christmas....

Beautiful daisy clasp from Daisychain extra, Beadlings by Laura Sparling with a bit of european 4 in 1 thrown in for good measure. 

 Wishing you all a fantastic Christmas xxx

Short attention span....

Each of these little glass pots (that may previously, in the very distant past, have contained mini lemon cheese cake) now contain an unfinished project, I really must try to finnish some of them before starting any new projects!

A simple stocking filler....

 (beautiful bead by the lovely Izzy of Flame and Glass)

Simple handmade clasp with swarovski crystal 

 Every cloud has a silver lining bracelet. Stunning cloud beads by the fab Laura Sparling.

With my own handmade cloud clasp, inspired by the beautiful oak leaf clasp I used a couple of posts back made by Jo of Daisychainextra. While I love the clasp I did not enjoy making it at all, sawing silver sheet is not something I have done much of and I did not feel like I had much control over the saw (thank goodness for needle files)!

I have a silver lining mark II bracelet in one of those many pots, same idea but slightly different.

Handmade gift bows

Every year at christmas I say I want to make as much as possible myself, so I was over joyed when I came across a tutorial for making gift bows from magazines on How About Orange (a fantastic blog with so many cool ideas), any who here are a few of ones I made....

Maybe next year I'll try making wrapping paper as well???

Have a great 1st December
