DIY Cheap Wire Hammered Dangly Earrings Tutorial from Teahab here. I always like it when a blogger tells you the thickness of wire they’ve used. Also, this tutorial explains how to make the ear wire, but of course you can buy those in the jewelry findings section. *I use hammered wire in lots of my collages and jewelry because you can make any shape you want.
DIY Crochet Chain Links Necklace Tutorial from Teahab here. *Full Disclosure: I didn’t pay to sponsor Teahab and just found an ad up for my blog when I went to her site tonight to check out her DIY necklace. She did it because she likes my blog and knows I like her DIYs (and have posted lots of them in the past).
