Jules and I visited a flea market over the weekend, and I
feel like I hit the jackpot of beads.
A young lady there had tons of beads for sale, all at a cost
of five bags for a dollar. I probably could have purchased way more than I did,
but I stopped myself at 15 bags. Then, later in the morning, I came across a
big bag of craft and jewelry supplies for $2 at a thrift store. It has
everything in it from thread to bells to craft clips.
I wasn’t sure what I wanted to make today when I pulled out
some of my supplies. Then a heart locket caught my attention. I pulled out a
chain and before I knew it I had a necklace. Super easy.
I’ve wanted to make chain maille jewelry for a long time.
Thanks to a bag of jump rings I picked up at the flea market I have enough to
practice and play around with. I think I’ll spend the rest of the day working
on it. I found several tutorials online. Maybe one of these days I won’t feel
like I am “all thumbs” when I do it.
You can find some chain maille tutorials at Fusion Beads and Knitting the Maille.
