Bead-Dazzled!

Thanks for visiting my blog on this lovely Tuesday! I'm still using up the little treasures in my bag of scrap. If you've ever made jewelry, I think you'll agree that some materials happen to dictate what they want to be. Like these beads for instance:

Together they seemed to unite, share one voice and say, "Turn us into a necklace!"

So I played fairy godmother and granted them their wish!

By stringing the bag of scrap beads and more beads from my collection together, I now have this unique, bohemian necklace!

See you tomorrow for another blah to Tada! project.

    Oh, I really like this last one!
    I'm so surprised you held yourself to only buying one bag of scrap- I probably would have caved and got at least 3 :)

    I love this! That necklace is wonderful! Makes me want to get back into my beading stuff...I put it away a long time ago and haven't looked at it since. Maybe I should whip it out!
