Once was a necklace...

...but is now a bag charm.

Some more beads used from a friends unwanted necklace.

As I mentioned in my last post I was given some unwanted necklaces to dismantle and was told to use the beads in my crafting.

As a thank you to my friend I made her this bag charm and added some paw charms to it because she has a dog and two cats at the moment and she did have 3 other cats who have all sadly passed away now.  

Trying something different

I've been doing something a little different.  

I was given some unwanted necklaces from a friend who said I could take apart and use the gems in my crafting.

I dismantled the necklaces and used some of the beads to make these earrings...  

This next pair of earrings I made from beads that were wound around some Christmas Crackers with wire, but were too good to throw away.
