Fairy Lantern Jewelry!

[DisneyDork712]

Hello there! I just realized that I haven't posted on here in ages! I've been pretty busy these past few months; had a big inspection at work on Wednesday. I'm glad that's over, and I can't wait 'til summer officially gets here!

Here's what's new in the crafting/jewelry department... :goodvibes

A few full size Fairy Lanterns

I've had so much fun with these! Even though they are a bit time consuming. :D Each Mini Fairy Lantern measures just 1/2" inch tall. Very tiny! The full size lanterns measure around 11/16" tall. Still pretty tiny! lol

I would love to know what you guys think!

Thank you very much!

I figured it out. I thought at first you were sewing them top to bottom, but I think you were actually doing each row around, right. Then in placing the rows they are off set by 1/2 a bead.
It makes sense in my head. LOL

Great work! I don't think I could work with such small beads. You are very talented.

You got it!

Every time my husband walks by while I'm working on them, he asks, "Are you blind yet?" lol He's so hilarious. :rolleyes:

These are beautiful! How do you make them if you don't mind sharing that is. The berry one is my fav. as well.

Oh wow! I'm in awe of your beadwork! :worship:

I bead and wire wrap, but I rarely do seed beads. I don't have the patience!

Way to go! :thumbsup2 I'd love to see more of your work!
