Gold & Wood Bead Bracelet Tutorial

I'm on a roll, my friends! Another tutorial up and ready to be tried. It's super simple and doesn't require too many things to make so give it a go if you have some time:

Check the video description for links to all the materials I used.

Hope you enjoy! Gimme some feedback if you're feeling generous :)

~Jewellery Tutorial~ Marble, Wire and Chain Necklace

I did it guys! I made a tutorial for the necklace I made yesterday. So proud of my creation I just wanted to share. It's super simple provided you've got the tools and I hope to continue making more tutorials as I come up with new ideas. 

To be honest I prefer the original one but I made it exactly as shown in the video so follow along and craft your own until you're satisfied with it!

Should be making the wooden and gold bracelet in a tutorial tomorrow if all goes to plan so just hang tight for that one!

Back in Business ~Jewellery Making Begins~

Well hello creative world; I AM BACK.

Today I headed out in the search for Edinburgh's Hobbycraft store. Let's all just pretend it was my first time trying to get there. The main thing is, I got there and it was glorious. I found so many treasures and went to town on their pick and mix option.

Here's a quick video of my new collection of goodies.

And here, is my first creation in over 2 years since my friend and I decided to close up our jewellery shop. But I have missed it like crazy. I have so many ideas and I want to make them all! Hopefully I'll be able to vlog them all too.

If enough people like this one I'm probably going to whip together a tutorial on my YouTube channel in the next few days. It took me about 30-45mins to make (a bit of Gilmore Girls for entertainment) but a lot of that was figuring out how to attach and connect everything. 

Anyway, I am hoping that this investment will help with some of my current money issues while I'm still job hunting... and give me a chance to enjoy myself again with the free time I've now been blessed with.

Look forward to more and let me know if you have any suggestions!

EDIT: Only a few minutes later I decided to make another one...

There's no stopping me.

Obsessed With A&Ss

With full transparency I didn't realise that their name was 'ass' before I fell in love with their products.

Today there was a market around my neighbourhood filled with goods but by far the busiest stall was A&Ss (luckily changing their name to 'Lapule' 「らぷれ」 in June). I had my eye on some square framed diamante studs but as I was waiting behind the masses they were snatched up. Thankfully, there was another pair of earrings I loved just as much.

This hand down earring style has been trending for a while now and I couldn't resist getting me some of these pearl style drop earrings when I saw them.

Peered with my studs from Zara.

[Please excuse my lack of makeup - it's Sunday and I don't care. Also my right ear is kind of elven?]

I hope I see them at a market soon! (or not because my purse strings could use a break)
