What better way to welcome spring then with some new bling!!  

I've joined up with 6 other crafty bloggers to bring you a week full of jewelry tutorials. 

I'm so excited to share my project with you all today!

DIY Amber & Gold Dangle Necklace

Here's how to make your own!

Supplies:

 Copper Aluminum Chain - Jewelry Basics Chain, drop beads, head pins, jump rings, clasp, needle nose pliers, wire cutters, and round nose pliers.

I got my chain from Prima Bead - I LOVE the selection of chain they have - there are TONS of different options and all at really great prices! This chain made the perfect base for this necklace.

Steps:

First step is to put a drop bead onto a headpin.

Using needle nose pliers,  bend the head pin 90 degrees directly above the bead

Use wire cutters to trim the excess wire off the head pin, just leave a small tail.

Grab the tail by the end with the round nose pliers and roll it around the pliers creating a loop like so:

Cut around 6 inches of chain, and use needle nose pliers to attach the drop to the chain, squeezing the loop shut with pliers.

I alternating attaching a bead to every other link

Next, cut a longer piece of chain for the base of the necklace, and attach slightly less beads to the center of this chain.

Attach the small piece of chain to one side of the longer chain using a jump ring

Do the same for the other side:

So the bib is attached like so:

Almost done! Next, just attach the toggle clasp using jump rings on the ends of the chain

Here's the finished necklace!

I love this design! Very simple but stylish. I think I need to make some more in other colors :)

Glasses from Firmoo

One morning, after getting out of the shower I saw my puppy up on my bed chewing on something.  I thought is was a toy, but after further inspection...turns out is was my glasses!

Yup. Nicccce and chewed on. The frames, the lenses, all of it. Nice and chomped. Seriously...it's a good thing my dog is so cute...

So....anyway...I needed new glasses! Luckily, right around this time I had the opportunity to try out some glasses from Firmoo.com!

Here are my new set:

And no, I didn't take this picture months ago.  It just randomly decided to start snowing in March here in PA. Random.

These frames are a little bigger than my last pair, but I'm digging the new look.  I don't wear my glasses every day, so it's nice to be able to have a different "look" on the days that I wear my glasses.

My favorite part about picking out my pair of glasses from Firmoo was being able to upload my own picture and test out what the glasses would look like on! I think this is so important for buying glasses online - you won't get to try them on before you order so doing it virtually is the next best thing!

I'm so happy with my new glasses! I would definitely recommend Firmoo to others - they have a ton of different frames in stock and their prices are very affordable.

So, if your puppy ever gets a hold of your glasses...or if you are just ready for a new set, check out Firmoo! They even offer FREE glasses from a select group of frames for new customers!
