Soutache earrings
Ideas, ideas, ideas.
А всъщност - Марули, марули, марули - безкрайно зелено поле. Сред тях седи и се пули едно възхитено теле. Хапни си, теленце, хапни си марули и свежа трева. Ах, как ми се иска да седна и аз да паса! Недялко Йорданов Sorry, got distracted. Soo.. ideas, so many ideas. To the right, my first soutache earrings. And since it's a technique you might get interested in, I made you a short tutorial. |
Start with selecting your materials and draft an initial design. A great, great page to get inspired:
The easiest way is to pick an accent bead and several smaller ones.
Then, put together several soutache braids, wrap around a bead and sew. You can choose transparent cord, but I would suggest a normal/silk thread, since it would hold better.
Keep adding beads according to your design.
Once you're finished, glue the ends to the back.
Repeat. You will see, it is quite hard to make a pair of earrings, as the second one is never quite the same. Should have ocurred to me to start with necklaces first...
