Crochet chain bunch

Though I know basic crochet and when I saw the set made by another crafter I was amazed as to how the beads are added to it. When I asked the procedure I could not get it clearly but when I searched the youtube and google, got a clarity. Though there are videos to make this set in youtube, here is a tutorial which could be useful to many.

Decide upon the number of strands that you want to make, then decide upon the number of stitches you want to add between every bead. This will help to add the total number of beads to the string. The whole set is made using just a single chain stitch.

Without cutting the string, add the beads to the string (if needed use needle to add the beads). At the back of the neck and at the place of the pendant, there should just be chains.

Start with making 12 chains, pull a bead through the needle, and make a chain around it. Make 6 chains and add another bead. Repeat to add 6 beads then add 12 chains repeat the chains and beads (add another set of 6 beads). Make chain 12 and keep repeating till all the beads are added up. Attach the last chain with the first chain (the beginning chain). Fold the chain and attach the 12 chains with a rope and if you are adding a pendant, use a chain or pendant attacher.

Gold necklace in Quilling

All that glitteers is not gold. Hope all will  agree with that and that proved with my trial into making different designs in quilling continues and one such is making a choker using quilling strips. How much ever I tried, I was not able to bring out the effect I wanted in circles or tear drops. So I decided to plait 3 golden strips to give the effect of thin golden chain chocker with a pendant. It really turned out to be good enough and when I wore it none can find out the difference ofcourse from a distance.

A gift set in Quilling

Tried making a jhumka and necklace set as a gift for a wonderful person's birthday. This is made matching to the dress she had purchased for the special occassion. . Did not tell her that I am making this for her. May be I can call it a conspiracy that me and her daughter planned. The jhumka turned out really good and this design def became a big hit and I made the same design in different colour combos. First time, learnt that I need to make it shiny so used varnish to give it a shiny look.
