Though I didn’t announce it this year, I still did Crafty February, and my plan was to craft some stuff that I need for the next fair. Here’s a summary of what I got done:
16 bracelets.
7 pairs of earrings.
5 necklaces.
8 magnets.
3 accessories.
1 collage.

- The idea: When I’ve used a headpin, I keep the leftover metal to make my own headpins with a ring at the end, and since I had a lot of them, I decided to use them for something, and an image on Pinterest gave me this idea. Beads are second hand.
- The idea: I ordered some headpins last year that were just too thin for my usual projects, so I decided to use them for beads on a bracelet. The beads are second hand.
- The idea: My boyfriend needed a new keyring for the car key and wanted something similar to the old one. The keyring and beads are second hand.
- The idea: After a busy day, I just needed something quick and easy, so this is what I made. The beads are second hand.
- The idea: I’ve had this photo of some very cute flowery earrings saved on my Pinterest for a while, and decided to try my own version of them, and this is the result. The droplets and white beads are second hand.
- The idea: I wanted to use the red macramé cord that I got from a friend, and I needed some new bracelets for the baskets at the fair. The beads are second hand.
- The idea: I just wanted to use these bells, and I needed more bracelets, so… Bells are second hand.
- The idea: Still in need of more bracelets, I decided to try something with the beads I got from a friend. I really like the black and red one.
- The idea: I tried making a bracelet with these flower beads that I got from a friend, but they just didn’t fit. Instead, I made a simple necklace.
- The idea: I once found a photo from a tutorial somewhere, and I liked the overall idea of a double chained bracelet, so I decided to make my own version of what I saw. The bicone beads are second hand.
- The idea: A rather simple necklace. The beads are second hand.
- The idea: I’ve had this UV resin droplet lying around for a long time, since it never wanted to set. It finally was hard enough to work with though, and I used it as a necklace pendant.
- The idea: I needed more shell magnets for the fair, and wanted to try using nailpolish to paint them. This was the result. The red rhinestones are second hand.
- The idea: A collage I made with my son for an art challenge on Instagram. We chose food as our theme.
- The idea: I wanted to use the tassels that I got from a friend, and thought this bead looked the best for it. The bead is second hand.
- The idea: An image found on Pinterest was my inspiration for these earrings. The beads are made of glass, and they’re quite heavy.
- The idea: More shell magnets, this time some very big ones. I used several layers of glitter nailpolish.
- The idea: Once again inspired by Pinterest. The beads are second hand.
- The idea: In need of more small bracelets for the baskets, I decided to make some sliding knot bracelets. All beads and pieces are second hand.
- The idea: More simple sliding knot bracelets after a busy day. The beads are second hand.
- The idea: I actually didn’t even have an idea. I just found some beads in my drawer and made a bracelet with them. The beads are second hand.
- The idea: I liked working with these beads and wanted to make a random colorful bracelet. The beads are second hand.
- The idea: I’ve been wanting to make something with these beads for a while now, and still needed more earrings, so this is what I came up with. The beads are second hand.
- The idea: I wanted to make something other than bracelets and earrings, and decided to make some keyring/zipper accessories. The beads I got from a friend suited this idea perfectly.
- The idea: I wanted to use more tassels, and found that the white ones worked well with these green beads. The beads are second hand.
- The idea: This is a design from 2018, but with different colors. The other bracelet sold last year, so I wanted to make a new one.
- The idea: I just wanted to use these nice wooden beads again, and made a last bracelet, because my baskets full of bracelets are always popular at the fair. The ring and the beads are second hand.
- The idea: I saw a nice necklace on Pinterest that gave me the idea of trying to do something with the cameos I have, and this is the result. Everything except the black jumprings and headpins is second hand.
I still need to make more magnets to fill my magnetic display board, but I’m already working on that.
