Tutorial - How to Make a Bra Pad Necklace

Now that's thinkin' outside the box!

Bra Pad Necklace Tutorial at Little Treasures
"You are looking at my newest creation - The bra pad necklace a.k.a Steam punk galore. The latter sounds more refined but the essential material is a bit raw.

Many bras usually come with pads which if you don't use, can be fabulously repurposed. The filling inside is already covered and serged so these pads open a whole new field of alternative use..." Read more

Tutorial - How to Make a BFF Puzzle Necklace

So cute for two little BFFs!

BFF Puzzle Necklace Tutorial at Speckless
"A few weeks ago I was wondering if they still made those “Best Friends” necklaces — you know, the ones that said “best” on one half and “friends” on the other half, and when you put them together they form a heart that says “best friends.” I don’t know what made me think about it, but anyway . . . I wanted to make some necklaces like that. This is what I came up with. I actually think the puzzle pieces are a little more subtle and you can fit a bunch of them together if you want to (I remember a few incidents in grade school when one person would feel really bad when two of her other friends got the “Best Friends” necklaces and she was left out)...."

Tutorial - How to Make a Gold Spiral Pendant

Really pretty! I wonder if it would work for other shapes - a heart maybe?

Gold Spiral Pendant Tutorial at Jewels of Sayuri
"Welcome to the first of my Re-purposed jewelry tutorials...
India love of gold is legendary and every Indian woman longs for a special piece of gold jewelry that is distinctly hers...It could be a Yazh kada (a cuff), it could be a Kasumalai (coin necklace) or it could even be a polki jumkha....For me it is a coiled pendant. Ever since I saw one in the D'damas ad in the mid nineties, I have fallen in love with it. I still remember the visual - a design akin to a serpent coiled around its stone (the nagaratnam). That's how far my love for spiral stuff (remember my wire swirls post) dates back to. So Instead of creating a knock off of the original, I decided to make my own design of a Spiral-coiled pendant..." Read more

Peyote Stitch Tutorial at Uzume's Crafty Goodness
"Peyote stitch is another one of those beadweaving stitches you see everywhere. It's got a fancy name and seems kinda daunting. The good news? It's really, really simple. And once you get the concepts you can create all sorts of things, like tubes and flat circles and sculptural geometric shapes.
This tutorial is for the most basic, flat, rectangular peyote stitch: but even with this stitch you can create all sorts of awesome designs..." Read more

Dagger Flower Drops Tutorial at Wild Roses & Blackberries

It's important that you use a bead cap with four long "prongs" and that the cap can be manipulated -- i.e. no cast caps.
