My sister asked me to contribute some stuff to her son's arts and crafts stall and I said yes and then thought oh crap that means more than one or two pieces. So I sat down for an afternoon and here's what I came up with.

Dangle Hoops Earrings
Hey Guys,
So I have been playing around with my seed beads, love them! They're cheap but look so pretty and bright. Wanna make some?
Supplies:
Fish Hook Earring Findings
Jump Rings in asst sizes
Charms
Round Hoop Earring Findings
Seed Beads
Bead Mat
Jewellery Making Pliers
So these are pretty simple but a little time consuming open the hoop and start threading your beads.
It pop as many as you like on, I like to have a bit of the silver showing, no other reason than I like the look and then close it over. I use my pliers to shut the hoop to make sure it has a strong hold.
Using the larger jump ring add the charm to the middle. Mind my manky thumb I have been knee deep in paint and sanding and if, the hands aren't covered in paint they're covered in scrapes and bangs from moving this crap all around the house.
Add the fish hooks using the other jump ring and your done.
Then you repeat until you have all your favourite colours sorted.
DIY Delight or Disaster? Well I was only going to make one pair on a bit of a whim and ended up making about 6 pairs in different colours, I'm going to have to go with Delight!
Thanks for reading,

The Candy Cane Bracelet
Last year I went a little crazy with my "Silly Season" accessories. Like this one, but this year I wanted to keep it a little more subtle. Also if you aren't from here the Silly Season is what we call the lead up to the holidays, Summer starts, School ends and it is party town all over the country.
