DIY

Some of my old friends said that I've changed knowing that I've started to DIY these days! I guess I've been inspired by the numerous amounts of blogs that I've been reading lately, especially Geneva from a Pair and a Spare and Erica/Lauren from Honestly WTF.

As a newbie I created something rather simple (I mean, you start from the bottom right).

Started off with a couple of kids' bracelets! One for my cousin and the other one for my niece. Seemed safer working with kids first hahah.

My niece playing with hers!

Next up was the peter pan collar adopted from here. They even have the collar piece pattern ready for you! The hardest part for me was threading the ribbon through the collar since I don't have a hole bunch and I made my necessary holes with needles. I'll probably make one without the scallops next time ;)

Went over to Sham Shui Po (again) today to pick up more supplies. Tried out the earrings! I have a pair that looks 95% like the ones I made (they were my absolute favourite though) so I was kinda testing out how to put everything together.

From top to bottom in less than 10 mins!

Imitation is good when you're a noob like me I guess. I just realized that pretty much all kinds of jewelry use up the same essential pieces, namely beads, hooks and back/bottom pieces. Everything just kinda works around the basics! Which is also why the supply stores are so overwhelming! Floor to ceiling filled with a bajillion jars holding different beads and hooks and what not. :o

Now I need to get a whole lot of inspiration and try to make something of my own! :)
