I had a request from Cheryl for a Snowflake Earrings tutorial and here's a version that I have been making for a number of years. (I should say: 'a number of ears'!!). I have used 4 x 2" lengths of 0.8mm (20-gauge) wire, plus some 0.4mm for each earring and threaded with small seed beads and crystals. But the choice of beads and the size of the earrings is very much up to you. You can also create a matching pendant using a similar technique, as well as Christmas Tree Decoration! Thanks for your request, Cheryl and I do hope you enjoy making your own versions!

Chalmers Gems have given me some lovely gemstones to play with! Multi Gem strand, 8mm white shell, 6mm spotty Quartz beads and a Quartz Donut bead. In this video, Linda demonstrates how to create wine glass (or mug handle) charms with the Multi-Gem strand and a window or tree decoration with the donut carved white Quartz. The white shell and spotty quartz beads can be used to create a XMAS TREE CENTREPIECE, with the Quartz Donut as the topper! Just go to Xmas Decoration playlist to find the full tutorial.

In this video tutorial, Linda shows how she creates her unique skull decorations for Halloween. She provides 2 variants on the wire wrapping.

This stylised bat decoration can be suspended in a window, or from a black sprayed branch as a Halloween ornament! I used black iron wire to create it, however, you can make it out of any wire you have to hand and then spray paint it black! The scrunched wire used within the frame is 0.3mm gauge. Have fun creating a variety of sizes to decorate your room!

In this video tutorial, Linda shows how to create a wire wrapped ring shank which can then be embellished with semi-precious chip beads and framed in a wire nest setting. You will need 0.8mm (20-)gauge for the ring and nest setting and 0.4mm gauge for binding on the beads.

Not just for autumn! These earrings look elegant throughout the seasons! The outer frame shapes are created out of 0.8mm (20-gauge) wire and woven with 0.4mm gauge. Other leaf shapes can be created in a similar way, using leaf outline templates that you can trace and find on the internet.

As we've had so much rain here, I was inspired to create this pendant, would could also be made as a decoration, or connected to the front of a greeting card: 'Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining'! I have used 0.8mm wire to create the framework and 0.4mm gauge to scribble weave the inside of the cloud frame. The frame is suspended with 3 faceted teardrop beads (rain drops), but you could use cut chains or other beads of your choice. I hope that you have fun making your own versions!

I thought you might like to see how I create one of my signature pieces. Get yourself a Beadsmith Whammer Hammer, a steel block, jewellery pliers and cutters, 1mm wire and a bead and you are ready to have a go!
