This is a much-delayed post since the summer is
over and we’re now into the fall season, but back at the beginning of the
summer I really wanted to spend a day at the beach to feel the sand between my
toes. Instead, the closest I got to the
beach was staring at a bowl full beautiful sea glass and seashells that I’ve
collected over the years. Since a trio
to the beach was nowhere in my near future, I decided to bring a little bit of
the beach to me with 2 DIY jewellery projects: stackable stretch bracelets and
a long multi-pendant necklace. I apologize
that this post doesn’t provide you with much of a guide about how I made
these items, but hopefully it may provide you with my design inspiration for
your own projects.
The stackable stretch bracelet was made using a
variety of sea green and turquoise beads (glass & plastic), two sizes of light pink glass beads, three
different size pearls, silver coated filler beads, blue crystal spacer beads,
1.0mm stretch jewellery cord, and a dab of E-6000 glue to seal the knotted ends
of the cords.
The long multi-pendant necklace is made from a piece of
sea glass and a seashell in my beach collection and cute crystal jewels I had
on hand from previous projects. In order to turn the sea glass and seashell into pendants, I used 1.0mm artistic wire to wrap around the two items. I attached everything together using gold jump rings and my needle nose pliers.
