Hi everyone! It's been a while since I posted anything and I've realised that lately all I'm posting is tutorials and that's it! Truth is it was a fun summer for me and also really busy so I had very little time for blogging! I hope I can make more time for blogging now that summer is over! How was your summer? Did you have fun? I hope you did! Today I'm sharing a round-up of my most loved recent posts in case you need to catch up and as a way to start the new season!

Γεια σας! Εχει περάσει αρκετός καιρός από την τελευταία μου ανάρτηση και μάλιστα συνειδητοποίησα πως ανέβαζα μόνο tutorial και τίποτα άλλο! Η αλήθεια είναι πως το blogging είχε περάσει σε δεύτερη μοίρα για μένα μιας και το καλοκαίρι μου ήταν πολυάσχολο αλλά και πολύ διασκεδαστικό! Το δικό σας πως ήταν? Ελπίζω εξίσου διασκεδαστικό! Λέω να ξεκινήσω το φθινόπωρο δυναμικά με μια...επανάληψη! Μια ανάρτηση υπενθύμισης λοιπόν για να σας θυμίσω τις τελευταίες και πιο αγαπημένες μου αναρτήσεις των τελευταίων μηνών!

Boho chic statement necklace DIY!

κολιέ φούντα 1:34 μ.μ.

Ι just love it when I make something beautiful out of leftover beads. This project was the perfect opportunity to do so. Plus it has that boho vibe you know I love and it's perfect for summertime. Here is the full tutorial on how to make your own boho chic statement necklace made with leftover beads and recycled materials!

Here's what I've used : (you can use any kind of beads you have in various sizes and colours and create your own unique statement necklace)

First determine how many pieces you want hanging. I decided to make 6, you can make 8 for a bolder piece. Generally, I think an even number is better for a nice balance. Next gather your beads and decide on the patterns. Sometimes I sketch to help me in patterns. I also took pictures of each combination before deciding (it took me two days trying to decide). Finally these were my pieces :

Now take a piece of the stringing wire and attach it to your chain using a crimp bead.

Start threading the metallic beads as your "base" beads and the headpins in between. Use jumprings to hang the headpins.

When you are done, attach the other side of the wire to another piece of chain using a crimp bead. Finally attach the clasp.

That's it! My new summer-favourite boho chic mixed media necklace is ready to wear!
