Ribbon Flower Pendent - Spring Fashions

With spring fashions arriving into stores and with spring hopefully around the corner, here is a fun DIY way to perk up your old fall jewelry.

Tools:

Sewing Needle
Hot glue gun

Materials:

Ribbon (the larger the flower, the thicker the ribbon should be)
Thread (same colour as ribbon)
Flower charm (optional)
Four lengths of chain, in varying lengths and thicknesses or a necklace that you already own

Thread the needle, starting at the bottom corner of one end of the ribbon, start sewing diagonally across the ribbon until you reach the top of the ribbon (see video). Once you have reached the top sew all along the top of the ribbon until you reach the other end. Then, pull the thread so that the ribbon bunches up and creates a flower. Next, sew it up at the back of the flower with 5 stitches and knot. Using the glue gun, glue the flower to one size of the necklace. If you would like to dress up the flower a bit, you can glue the charm in the middle of the flower.

Festive wire wrapped beaded wine glass

Materials needed
Wine glass
4 glass beads (with large holes)
18 mm wire in your preferred colour

Tools needed
Ruler to measure wire
Wire cutters
Round nosed pliers

This is a great way to dress up your table especially when
entertaining over the holiday season. Use clear sparkly crystal or
red and green beads to set a festive mood.

Cut about a yard of wire. Run the wire through your hand to make it
easier to work with. Take the wire and make a loop with the needle
nosed pliers at one end of the wire. Keep twisting to make a coil and
stop when you reach your desired size.

Then make a kink in the wire right after the coil and fit around the
base of the wine glass stem. Then start wrapping the wire around the
stem of the glass coiling and twisting as you go, when you are about
1/4 into your wire string a glass bead onto the wire, Keep wrapping
and coiling and adding beads up the stem of the wine glass (see
video). At the end of your wire make another coil. This is a great
way to dress up your table especially when entertaining over the
holiday season. Use crystal or red and green beads to set a festive
mood.
