Tree of Life pendent

I have been working a lot with wire wrapping. I learned a lot from YouTube and got a lot of tips from my older sister on how to work with wire.
Just recently I made a Tree of Life wire pendent for my little sister.

 This it my very first ever handmade Tree of Life pendent.
Its not perfect, but I am happy with it.

I happened to make another one the next day.


This is my second Tree of Life I made.

The first one was made with wire, and glass beads. The second was wire, and sapphire seed beads.
I am happy with both of them and my little sister loved them. I gave both to her.

Have a great day everyone!

Simple Jewelry

I have this black cording the same one I used for the Celtic braid that I did when I didn't have wire any ways.
I was thinking about making some simple necklaces with it. I had made some jump rings with some of the silver plated wire I bought and wasn't sure what to do with them.  Like I said in the begging of this post I have some black cording and thought it would be great to use it with the jump rings I made.
For the simple necklaces I would use the black cording one of the jump rings I made add some colored seed beads to the cording ( so it wont be so boring) and add the jump ring with a charm.

I have several charms left over from older projects and would love to use them. I have silver snow flakes, silver fairies, silver spiders, hearts, keys, a dragon, and other charms.

After I get this project done I will post photos of my work.

I hope you all have a great day!

Happy New Year! 2016

From 2012-2013 I wasn't a craftier and in fact I had very little interest in becoming one. I would even ask my sister (who is an incredible craftier) why she liked to craft. I was told that she loved it, that it made her happy and plus she was able to hand make gifts for people and a lot of people loved them over the gifts she would buy.

 In late 2014 I decided to give it a go and try to teach myself how to make bracelets. I had YouTube to help me and teach me new crafts. My first craft ever was a bracelet made from a zipper. That's right I made a zipper bracelet. I made one for myself, my niece and my two sisters. They liked them and so did I.

After the zipper bracelets I decided to try something a little more challenging like chain mail. I did a lot of chain mail bracelets. I did twisted chain mail and chain mail that had round pearls in it as if it were caged in the bracelet. I did a lot of those types of bracelets. I had so much fun with them. Then I decided to try out polymer clay ( oven bake) and molds. I have 7 molds and tons of polymer clay. I absolutely loved doing polymer clay. It makes me fell like a kid again!

I have several items I have made with polymer clay. I have done necklaces, bracelets, rings, brooches, and hair accessories. Then in 2015 I decided to try out spikes. I made a heart out of polymer clay and baked it off. It was about 2 inches long. I went ahead and added some spikes to the whole heart and turned it into a ring. Its my spiky heart ring! I love it.

Near the end of 2015 I decided to try working with wire. I have worked with 18 gauge, 20, 14 and so on. I absolutely love working with it. So far I have been able to make braided bracelets. I have also learned a lot though YouTube.

In 2016 I hope to of opened my mine and eyes to other crafts. I hope you enjoy and check out my shop! Christine Creates Shop

Wire Wrapping

I have been able to make some amazing bracelets out of wire wrapping, in fact this year for Christmas I will be making all of my gifts for my family and my boyfriends family.

I am making 6 bracelets. I have been using polymer clay a little over a year now and have make some amazing beads in the past. So I decided to make the beads out of polymer clay. The wire is 18 gauge and the beads are made from polymer clay. Celtic bread is the type of weave that I did. 

The beads are made from polymer clay.
