Summertime and the living is.....Creative ♥

Summer brings out the BEST things

The Beach

Warm Weather

Fun Clothing

Sandals

AND ANKLETS!

(and other great jewelry, of course)

I feel the dire need to make some today.

Would you like to watch?

Ok. Good.

I will be making silk cord and genuine Amethyst stone anklets.

THE SUPPLIES

(Genuine Silk and Amethyst Chips....and camera shy coffee, of course)

THE PROCESS

(Braid, Tie, and string stone on cord)

Simply, I braid one end about 1/3 of the length of the anklet and tie it off. 

 Then I make a knot on one piece of the silk and string an amethyst chip on and knot again. I do this on each of the 3 cords in random spots until I like the look of it. 

 Then I knot it off again and start braiding the last 1/3 of the anklet!

You can either tie it to your ankle or attach a clasp using toggle or lobster clasps and fold over crimps.

THE RESULT:

I ALSO MADE ONE IN GOLD SILK AND GENUINE TURQUOISE
