When Inspiration Strikes

This afternoon, I wanted to create a hippie headband for myself so I searched my crafts stash for cords. Instead of cords, I found gold beads (gold-colored faux pearls to be more specific). Crazy as it may seem, I let out a big "gyahahaha!" and immediately took my angel wing earrings, jump rings and pliers to make a...

...TADA! SNITCH PENDANT!



It's not an original idea (search "Snitch pendant" in Google and you'll find lots of these). I've been meaning to make this since last year but I couldn't find materials and I didn't have time to go searching in Divisoria or Tutuban. 

I looked for a maroon background to make it look "Gryffindor" haha.

I wasn't able to make the hippie headband (I couldn't find cords) but at least I have a new favorite pendant. I think that bigger angel wing charms would be better but I love this product anyway.

You know those moments when things don't go your way but life suddenly offers something equally as nice.

Transformer

White dress is from Cinderella, bought at 50% off! It has rows of rosettes on the hems.


I added some beads on the dress. I also beaded a black satin ribbon to turn into a sash.


I put belt loops and here we go.


The beads are easy to remove if I ever want to "transform" the dress again. :)

Stack Some Beads

I made a two beaded stacked bracelets yesterday [instead of revising my manuscript haha]. I don't wear accessories except for short layered necklaces and pendants. Mostly because bracelets, rings and long necklaces are quite... bothering. I mean, it may restrict your movement sometimes. Or maybe I'm just not used to wearing them anymore.
