Bead Embellished Buttons
Make your own fabric and seed bead buttons with circular peyote stitch. A Beadwork challenge project. |

Celestial Sparkle
I wear this glass and crystal necklace with the large silver toggle clasp in the front. This design was the result of a personal challenge: if you can only afford one tiny strand of beautiful boro beads, what can you do with them? Everyone told me I had to make a bracelet since I had so few of these special beads, but I really wanted a necklace! |

Dear Diary
Create a unique focal piece by stringing several keys on a large jump ring. |

Three sets of earrings made with a single set of pink and khaki lampworked beads. I was delighted with how differently each pair turned out. |

Gone Fishin' with Miro
A silver wireworked bracelet with an orange and blue color palette. These beads were from a Beadwork challenge kit. I certainly was challenged by the colors! |

Purple Zig Zags
Play with coils and inexpensive craft wire to make these quick, fun earrings. You can use a special coiling tool or you can be like me and just find a knitting needle or crochet hook that's the right size and use that to wrap your wire. Featured in an advertisement in the first issue of Easy Wire. |

Rambling Rose
A chain maille and strung necklace with garnets and silver. I love this necklace for the holidays. A Beadwork challenge project. |

Sari Sunrise
On a limited budget? Make this 3-strand necklace for under $25! I had such a good time making an "under $25" necklace for Stringing that I challenged myself to do it a second time. This is the result. |

She Bop
Bold clip-on statement earrings that are sure to get you noticed! I made this in response to an article in Stringing that mentioned how large earrings were the perfect accessory for a bare neckline. |

Sorbet in August
Combine bright lampworked beads, lava rock rounds, and moukite for a casual design that's easy to wear. This pattern was originally published in Stringing and is part of a free eBook.
