An Advent gift from me to you…

November 30, 2012

I’ve been working my little arsch off to get my Christmas-gifts-for-those-faraway completed & as I’m nearly ready to get everything posted off I thought I’d share one of the little bits of cleverness I came up with for the teenaged lassies on my list:

3 lurvly personalized pendant making kits…

all packaged up in funky vintage necktie wristlets!

O.K…but what about the advent gift in the title of this post? Right, here’s how to create your own individual pendant-making-kits including my fancy printable full-colour instructions – yay!

The Caged Stone Necklace – grab a pretty stone, 40cm-ish of wire & a cord or chain to string the finished pendant on….
