After making dozens of the Montée Magic bracelets (featured in Beadwork, February/March 2008), Katherine realized no ordinary pair of earrings coordinated like she had anticipated. What better way to bring them together than to use the same ring pattern of the bracelet? Using a head pin keeps the shape straight and makes this simple crystal earring quick and easy to finish.

These elegant, needle tatted accessories will make any bride feel even more special. Needle tatting is a gentle art that can be traced as far back as the 1850s. Some believe that tatting developed from netting and decorative ropework created by sailors and fishermen. Project instructions include a one-page guide on how to do double stitch, rings, and chains. This project is from PieceWork magazine. |
