Fancy Wire Wrapped Pendant Tutorial

This may be more of a moderately fancy wire wrapped pendant than an outright fancy pendant but I suppose that's a matter of opinion. This necklace is made with sterling silver wire, a tiny smoky quartz rondelle & a light beer quartz briolette-I suspended this one from a pretty little sterling silver cable chain but you can use silk cord, ribbon or whatever you like. This tutorial is in PDF format so please feel free to download it, share it or repost it... all I ask is that you be nice about it and link back to my blog, that you not make any changes to it and that you refrain from using it for commercial purposes. If any of this is confusing or unclear just drop me a comment and I'll explain in greater detail. The finished necklace and others like it are available on my website http://www.shop.theadornedarticle.net/ 
Oh just one little reminder before you start making your pendant-be sure you make your loop big enough for your chain/cord/ribbon to fit through or remember to attach it before you close the loop. Otherwise it won't fit and then you'll be sad and we don't want that.   xoxo~S

Free Jewelry Making Tutorial: Waxed Irish Linen Wish Bracelet

I sell these cute little thread bracelets on my website TheAdornedArticle.com and I've gotten a lot of requests from customers wanting to know how to make them. Waxed Linen Jewelry is simple and elegant-perfect for beginners and seasoned crafters alike.

The best part about the Wish Bracelet is (in my opinion) the sliding macrame knot closure-it makes the bracelet super easy to adjust and will keep it nice and snug on your wrist. Once you get the hang of this you can create all sorts of variations using different charms and beads. I'd love to see what you come up with so send me photos and I'll do a post on my favorites. Let me know if you have any questions or need clarification on anything. If you would like to use this tutorial on your blog-feel free just please remember to mention where it came from and link back to me.
