Southwestern Inspired Necklace From Upcycled Beads

Here I showed you a few things I made with some beads taken from an old shirt. This is my most recent project. I started on another pair of earrings but have been so busy I haven't finished them yet.

I really love this necklace and its boho chic, southwestern appeal.


This is the shirt that that beads came from.

Upcycled Beads

My aunt gave me this old shirt of hers. I immediately knew I was going to reuse the beads that adorn it. There is still so much beads sewn on but I got tired of removing them.

 
These make great little bead caps.

These are prefect for attaching cabochons. I was been able to make this necklace with them.

So far I've also made a pair of dangles, and a pair of studs. I have enough beads to make one more pair of earrings. I love the southwestern boho feel they have. You can find them in my shop.

upcycled fabric covered button necklace

Not only was this top handed down to me from my aunt too big it had a seam that was coming undone.  I was going to add it to the donation pile but I thought I could do something crafty with it. I ended up with this fabric covered button necklace. I'm not a floral print type of gal but I really like this necklace and have plenty of fabric to make a whole mess of other things.


You can find this necklace here on my shop. Be sure to become a fan on facebook to get discounts and to check the shop announcements for any coupon codes.

Enjoy your weekend!

craft fair

This past Saturday I did another craft fair. I shared a space with a a couple of buddies and didn't have to pay any vendor fees since I was providing the canopy (sweet). It was a great day overall but not a very good day for vending. There were not many attendees and the other vendors didn't seem to be getting much action either. I honestly do not mind at all. It was nice to hang out with some new people and most importantly it was awesome for my son to interact with other kids. I was so happy at how well they played together and really glad he enjoyed himself. He did have his moments though. He was very, very upset about not being able to spend the whole day in the bounce house.

I didn't take any pictures of our set up, I suppose I was preoccupied with having such a good time. Here are a few pics I do have. As you can see I went through a few of ideas for display.


 



We had two large tables, so my display ending up looking much different then this which I am happy about. My necklace display got blown over by the wind. This sweet little kid rushed over and asked if he could help. Later on one of the kids knocked into the table and the 3 tired display went crashing to the ground. I def need to think up some new sturdier display ideas.


 This is pretty much how I packed up everything.

We woke up a little later then I wanted. I really did not want to waste any time trying to "force" him to get dress and I knew once we got there dressing him would be a breeze, so in the carseat he went with just a diaper. I gave him that bag of cookies and he just stared at it till he fell back to sleep lol.
