Don’t buy it, make it!!!

September 24, 2007

Today, I got an Artbeads.com newsletter in my email box. I like Artbeads, they have great prices and some really fun and unique beads, plus FREE SHIPPING in the US! (Canada shipping only $1!!)

But my jaw dropped just a little when I saw one of the newest Thai pendants for sale – it looked just like something I make! Beading Help Web’s Holiday Tree Earrings could easily be adapted for a pendant – just use heavier wire (I’d recommend at least 16g, maybe even 14g), hammer it lightly to flatten and strengthen it, and you’ve got yourself a beautiful pendant.
