Instead of eye charm you can put any charm you have or a bead, anything you can think of.Also you can use string of neon colour for effect.<br />

floss, with each strand measuring four times the length of the curb chain. Knot

into a disposable container or onto a wooden popsicle stick. I like to use a
small amount at a time, as the glue tends to dry quickly. Using the tip of a
toothpick, apply a dollop of glue onto the back of the largest ceramic rose. </span></div>

headband. Hold in place, for about a minute, until the glue sets. It’s best to
start in the center with the largest ceramic flowers and rhinestones, and then
gradually add smaller adornments down the middle of the headband.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I’ll show you how to make a delightful bracelet using basic component, the

<a name='more'></a><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">For
single, adjustable gold tube bracelets, you’ll need:<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">·<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a curved noodle tube bead <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Start by cutting the knotting cord into 2 12
inch pieces. Thread a gold noodle tube bead through one of the strands and
cross the ends.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

now, all that’s left is the sliding closure! Similar to our macrame bracelet,
fold the 2nd strand over the overlapping ends and start tying square knots.
Fold the top cord over the bottom cord . . .<o:p></o:p></span></div>

through the loop, into a knot.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Continue
to make 5-6 more knots.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">To
finish the knots, thread one of the cords onto a needle and sew up the center
of 2-3 knots along the backside. Pliers will help pull the needle through the
tight knots.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

away any excess cord.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

two gold spacer beads onto each cord and tie the tips into a knot. Trim.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">After
seeing all over beautiful statement necklaces, I really wanted to create one
for myself. To recreate my version of these pieces, I used black-eyed beans
since they are the sizes that I was looking for, they are super cheap and they
can be transformed into any color you like! So if you want to make a fun and
eco-friendly statement necklace using beans here are a few simple steps.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

place the clear sheet with the beans and pearl beads on a cutting board and
trim the extra sheet around the design. Get as close to the beans and pearl
beads as possible so when you wear the necklace, you don’t see the sheet. At
the left and right end of the necklace, leave out the dashed area shown in the
template. This will used to attach the design to the chain. Using the hole
puncher, create a hole on the dot marks in the dashed area at the left and
right ends of the design.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Attach a

other end of the 6 inch chain.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">If
you had opted for the nail polish option instead of spray paint, carefully
apply 2-3 coats of a bright nail polish to the beans. You can add a coat of
clear nail polish to both spray paint and nail polish version if you want them
to be shiny.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> Let it dry and then you have your own neon statement necklace made
of black-eyed beans!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Start by cutting 4 strands of each color, at about 24 inches each, for a total of 8 strands. Alternate the thread colors before tying them together in a knot. Remember to leave at least 3 inches of slack. Tape the knot to a flat working surface or clip onto a clipboard.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="text-align: left;"></span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;">Separate the threads into 2 sets, 2 of each color on each side. Arrange the strands in an alternating, mirror-image pattern with the outside threads matching and so on moving inwards.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="text-align: left;"></span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;">Start on the left side with the outermost strand (shown here in red) and make a forward knot by creating a 4-shape over the 2nd strand (shown here in blue), loop it under and back through the opening.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="text-align: left;"></span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;">Pull up and to the right to tighten. Make the same knot <strong>twice<em> </em></strong>everytime.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="text-align: left;"></span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;">Continue knotting over each color, towards the right, until the outermost color has carried over to the middle. This is one half of the chevron pattern.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="text-align: left;"></span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;">Pick up the outermost strand on the right side (show here in red) and make a backward knot, creating a reverse 4-shape over the 2nd to last strand (shown here in blue), loop it under and back through the opening. Pull up and to the left to tighten. Don’t forget to knot twice!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="text-align: left;"></span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;">Continue knotting towards the left until the outermost strand reaches the middle. Tie a backwards knot with the two middle strands to connect the two halves. Don’t forget to always knot twice!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="text-align: left;"></span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;">Repeat on the other side: take the 2nd to last strand (shown here in blue) and make a forward knot over the outermost strand (showin here in red). Knot twice.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="text-align: left;"></span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: left;">Complete the row by taking the 2nd outermost strand (shown here in red) and make forward knots over each strand until it reaches the middle.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: left;"></span></span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: left;">Mirror the steps on the other side and connect the middle strands. The heart cleavage has been created and the third row is finished.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: left;"></span></span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: left;">Now repeat this special row again for the 4th row, taking the 2nd outermost strand and reversing the knot over the outermost strand.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: left;"></span></span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: left;">Mirror the step on the other side. This forms the outer edge of the heart. Now fill in the heart by finishing the row with 2nd outermost strand (shown here in blue) and making forward knots over each strand until it reaches the middle.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: left;"></span></span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: left;">Mirror the steps on the other side and connect the middle strands. Now, it’s back to a normal row again to close the heart. Make forward knots with the outermost strands, moving inwards towards the middle. Connect the middle strands.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: left;"></span></span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: left;">Knot another normal row and then 2 special rows to form another heart. Do you see the pattern? 2 normal, 2 special, 2 normal, 2 special . . . keep going until the bracelet is long enough to fit around the wrist.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: left;"></span></span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: left;">Finish the bracelet with a big knot and trim the ends.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: left;"></span></span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: left;">Voila! Heart patterned friendship bracelets done.</span></span><br />

America. According to tradition, you tie a bracelet onto the wrist of a friend
who may wish for something at that moment. The bracelet should be worn until it
is totally worn-out and falls off by itself, at which moment the wish is
supposed to come true.<br />
Today friendship bracelets seem to be appearing on the wrists of everyone from children to grandparents. These bracelets are often made of embroidery thread or yarn and can be woven into many intricate patterns. Some are even made with beads or chain woven into the design or other materials.The technique is relatively simple, requires no special equipment and can be done with inexpensive materials, making and sharing friendship bracelets is something nearly everyone can do.<br />
In this post I'll show you how to make step by step a classic chevron pattern for a friendship bracelet.<br />
<br />
What you need:<br />
<li>embroidery thread</li>
<li>a safety pin or tape</li>
<li>a pair of scissors</li>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Start by cutting several strands of embroidery thread at about 24 inches each. Make sure there are two sets of each color. Combine the threads and tie a knot, leaving at least 3 inches of slack. Tape it to a flat surface or safety pin it to a pillow. Separate the two sets, arranging the strands in a mirror-image pattern with the outside strands the same color and so on moving inwards.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Start on the left side with the outermost color (shown here in red) and make a forward knot by creating a 4-shape over the 2nd color, loop it under and back through the opening.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Pull up and to the right to tighten. Make the same knot <em>twice </em>over each color. Continue knotting over each color, towards the right, until the outermost color has carried over to the middle. This is one half of the chevron pattern.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now pick up the outermost color on the right side (show here in red) and make a backward knot, creating a reverse 4-shape over the 2nd color, loop it under and back through the opening. Pull up and to the left to tighten. Don’t forget to knot twice over each color!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Continue knotting towards the left until the outermost strand reaches the middle. Tie a backwards knot with the two middle strands to connect the two halves. Did you remember to knot twice? The first chevron row is complete! Continue with the the next color, which is now the outermost strand . .</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Remembering the color order is important for the first few rows but after the 3rd or 4th row, the strands will fall nicely in place. Finish it with a knot and a braid.</div>

We are the owners of this blog, a creative couple passionate of making hand made jewelry.We like especially making colourfull jewelry from eco-friendly materials such as string, fimo, fabric.<br />
This blog will present our work and how-to tutorials about different methods of realising jewelry. I'll try to write it both in our native language which is Romanian but also in English because we like to meet people from all over the world passionate and creative like us.<br />
Our jewelry can be bought from our online store from <a href="http://www.breslo.ro/Shop/irihoney" target="_blank">Breslo</a> or sending an email with the picture of the item you want, your adress and anything else you want to specify.<br />
Because we love pictures and I don't want this post to be short or pictures empty I attach pictures with jewelry similar to what we make.<br />
