Bathed in Silver

If you checked out my blog this week,

you've seen how I transformed old necklaces

into new necklaces.

I have to say, it was a lot of fun!

I still have a few beads left over from the

original batch.

However, I changed their color with

a few coats of silver paint!

Tada! Just add the good-as-new beads to a

silver chain & it's a new necklace!

Here's a closer look.

Using the same paint, I brought color to the smaller beads, too.

I poured some paint into a cup, added the beads,

swirled them around with a skewer & let these

dry on a piece of cardboard.

Once dry, I assembled a new piece

using needle & thread:

Tada!

A brooch works as the closure mechanism &

delivers some contrast & shine.

Here's another necklace, albeit

a simpler one.

Add a favorite pendant like this

pearl ball, your birthstone, an initial

or a religious medal for daily protection.

Have a superb weekend!
