I felt that this meat / flesh themed bracelet would be appreciated here on Tumblr. 90% of the beads, including that meat slab charm, are made by me.

one thing about me is that I LOVE crafting, every artistic hobby you can think of I tried at least once. I think that's why gift giving is one of my biggest love languages, alongside physical touch. Here, these are necklaces I made for my ex girlfriend, the first one was one of her birthday's gifts I made for her. Second one was a surprise I made for her just because she saw a necklace like this one and found it cute (and I was a HUGE simp for her so...)

I would love to make some more for someone's else in the future (: x

I finished my tma inspired nails (and a ring) today!

I bought this super cute glasses chain at a convention stall

and have not stopped wearing them since, however the gemstone attached is pink and as I love to colour coordinate my outfits all the way from earrings to socks, I decided I needed some more colour variety

so I made some of my own!

I love them so much, I will definitely be making more

the one I purchased cost me $30(AUD) which was a pretty reasonable price honestly, considering the supplies I bought to make these two cost me $58 in total and putting them together was fiddly as hell and took a few hours

so if you wear glasses and love dangly accessories, this is pretty fun! you can put them together in one afternoon and depending on what materials you use they can be pretty affordable (I just splurged on some of the more pricey charms)

Made some clay earrings the other day and I’m so pleased with how they came out! 🥺💖

Am I entering my jewelry making era? Maybe!! 😳

Made a nail necklace!

It's a handcrafted nail I got from a little fantasy store, meticulously wrangled onto a string so it somehow stays vertical. I've seen coffin nail necklaces and the like for a while so I wanted ny own. The nail itself was at most 1 euro, the rest I already had in the Craft Stash.

Velvet ribbon necklaces and chokers

This is one of my favourite ways to make a necklace - extremely quick and simple but I think it looks beautiful. I use velvet ribbon but it would also work with satin ribbon and possibly lace, though that might not be sturdy enough. I personally don't like to use leather or faux leather because it can get very sweaty and uncomfortable, but you can absolutely use that too if you want! Craft shops also sell patterned or embroidered ribbon.

I've even done variants on this which were made from just a long strip of fabric which I hemmed along the edges.

In addition to the ribbon you will need rivets or eyelets, d-rings or o-rings, and heavy snap studs to fasten them.

The pendants in these photos came from various places: the flower cameo was thrifted, the wolfs cross was bought from some alternative shop I don't remember the name of decades ago, the leaf and the large ocean jasper came from an Etsy shop called Enchanted Creations (link here) and the ivy is Alchemy Gothic.

For whatever reason I decided I didn't like the necklaces they came on so I remade them. The pendant parts and chains were attached using jewellery pliers and either jump rings or links of the chain if it was large enough.

Then all you need to do is loop your ribbon through the d-rings and poke a hole through both layers (I have a leather punch I tend to use but you can also use scissors) then secure it with either a rivet or an eyelet. You can buy these online or in craft shops, they're usually very cheap, come in various colours of metal and have instructions for how to put them together. They're fairly self-explanatory - one half on each side of the fabric and hit them with a hammer a few times. If using rivets make sure you put the pieces on the correct sides.

You could also use screw on spikes. Anything that will keep the ends together will work - obviously you could sew them too, but this looks neater (than my hand sewing anyway!) and gives a bit of extra visual interest.

To get the right length of ribbon I just put it around my neck making sure to overlap the ends then add a couple of centimetres extra for the folds. If the ribbon is synthetic (most of the the time they will be) use a lighter to singe the ends slightly. This will cause it to melt a little and prevent fraying. Please be careful when doing this! You don't need to put the ribbon *in* the flame, just close enough to heat it.

For fastenings I always use heavy snap studs. These make the fastening very secure and neat looking - it will lay completely flat to the back of your neck.

These studs come in 4 parts.

Again, double over the ends of the ribbon, poke a hole through both layers, put the correct pieces of the fastening on each side and hit them with a hammer a few times. These can likewise be bought online and come with a tool and instructions for use. The most important thing with these is to make sure all parts are facing the right direction so you can close them properly.

Here are some brief instructions I found online for how to use them.

Again, you don't have to fasten them the way I do, whatever way suits you is fine. Even a safety pin would work!

This basic method can be used to make collars too, I did a cyber collar a while back (full post here)

As I said above you can use any kind of ribbon you like, patterned or plain, or even a long strip of fabric, that's what I did for this collar.

You could cover it with safety pins, buttons, embroidery, fabric paint, whatever you like!
