Mono Stacks

I know it's summer and the weather is insanely hot and you're probably not in the mood to craft all day, that's why I'm keeping these days DIY's very short and sweet.
To my absolute pleasure, arm candies are still in this summer. Colorful, bold, big bracelets decorate every girl's wrist. But what if you don't have all the time in the world to put every single little bracelet on until you have a consistent stack, or maybe you're not that good at matching? I want to show you how to make a mono stack.

What I mean is by using this magical wire called memory wire you can create the effect of a stack with only one bracelet. But I'll better show you. Let's see what you need and get started:

1. memory wire; 2. seed beads; 3. pliers

1. cut three to as many as you want coils or hoops from the memory wire
2. using the pliers make a loop at one end to stop the beads
3. start inserting the beads, random or by following a pattern
4. when you're left with 5mm of wire make another loop from it

There you have it. You can try so many different things, like having different combos on each coil or different beads sizes or material. Just play around and make your own mono stack. And if you are bold enough, stack up the mono stacks for a real crazy arm party :)

Love,
L.

Working on lately

Vin la ceas de seara cu o postare tarzie pentru a motiva absenta de pe blog din ultima saptamana. Am inceput sa lucrez la o colectie noua pe care vreau sa o termin pana la primavara si din fericire, in ultimul timp inspiratia s-a simtit ca la ea a acasa in jurul meu. Si nici nu e de mirare cand sunt inconjurata de atatea lucruri dragute. Iata cateva dintre ele:

Here I am with a late night post to excuse my absence from the last week. I started working on a new collection which is due this summer and fortunately inspiration made herself at home around me lately. But I guess that's normal when you are surrounded by so many pretty things. Here are a few:
