Fabric Button Necklace


 I had some funky vintage pillow case scraps in my stash that caught my eye.
I think it's the fun color combo that grabbed my attention really.

 
I made some 1 1/8" covered buttons and turned them into a necklace.
The bezels were purchased from snapcrafty on etsy.
There is just so much fun inspiration on the web if you have the time to hunt!!

Beads and Leather


I've been admiring lots of jewelry online lately. In particular, "boho"
leather and bead bracelets.

I found a great video tutorial...

Ta-dah! My new bracelet :)

and crocheted a cozy cloche!

Pattern Nubby Brim Cloche .

My brim is a bit less flared than the one in the pattern...goofed a bit on a couple rows.
It's still a keeper nonetheless!! Just need more crochet practice (oh darn!) :)
