Stylish lace

Then twist the free part of the pin into a ring using pliers, and you need to pay attention to the diameter of this ring - the chain on which the pendant will hang should easily pass through it. If the size of the pin does not allow making a ring with a sufficient diameter, then an additional ring of the required diameter can be made from wire and attached to the pin.
Next comes the fun part - choosing the contents for the bottle. Here your imagination can run wild to its heart's content, but we suggest putting something small or something memorable in there. An original key, dried flowers, beads, beads, sparkles and sequins will look good.

Repeat these steps until the workpiece is completely filled. Measure the desired length of the chain, attach a lock to it and put the pendant on it.
Broken glass pendant
Instead of glitter from the master class described above, you can use broken glass to fill the blank. This glass must first be crushed and then carefully glued to the base, as in the previous version. After drying, the glass can be painted in any desired color using nail polish.

First, it is better to collect large patterns from beans, and fill the gaps between them and small patterns with beads.
After the workpiece is completely glued, it needs to be given time to dry, and then using a stationery knife, cut the plastic strictly along the edge of the product. Using a hole punch, you need to make holes in the plastic at the extreme points of the necklace and insert the chain links into them.

Fold the pieces of beads so that one end is shorter than the other and carefully sew them to the fabric of the hoop.
The maximum length of beads should be located at the edges of the hoop, and the shortest in the middle. In this case, the transition from the edges to the center should be made very smoothly.
When all the pieces of beads are secured, you need to sew or glue a piece of fabric to the inside of the choker, which will hide all the seams.
Handmade is becoming more and more popular. This is not surprising - such things contain a particle of the good energy of the master who created them, and besides, they are unique and inimitable. Maybe you will see something similar on someone else, but no one has exactly the same!
It turns out that it’s not so difficult to create simple decorations with your own hands - you just need to use your imagination and have some time!
First of all, no one said that it could be jewelry. You will perfectly decorate your look by adding the necessary details - for example, by sewing several rhinestones or huge buttons imitating jewelry to the hem of a blouse or dress.
But even if you have long dreamed of having your own, we will give you some ideas.
This bracelet can be woven in 5 minutes! It is based on a regular braid made of suede lace. We make the end of the bracelet with a slot, and tie a knot on the other side. The clasp is ready!
You'll never guess what this colorful jewelry set is made of! From ordinary... rubber bands, they are usually used for wads of money. It's a good sign to wear such jewelry :).
We've all done macrame or baubles at some point. Take a good cord (preferably made of natural material), pass it through a bone button, braid a beautiful knot as a clasp - your ethnic bracelet is ready!
This is made from an old boring t-shirt. It was enough to cut it into thin strips, stretch them so that they curled into flagella. The author also came up with the idea of tying them on the sides with knots (you can use colored threads). The decorations turned out to be very simple, but so interesting!
If you gravitate more towards a conservative style, take a few beads that you rarely use and weave them into... a braid! Original, bright, fashionable - today at the peak of popularity.
One of the most suitable materials is denim. Take some old jeans and make some simple and beautiful jewelry out of them. Shiny beads, rhinestones and even buttons will come in handy.

Gone are the days when making your own jewelry was considered bad taste and a lack of money. Many designers are developing jewelry collections that are much more expensive than gold and diamond jewelry.
So, what is costume jewelry?
According to the definition, costume jewelry (from French bijouterie)- decorations made from inexpensive materials. A variety of metals and alloys, transparent and colored glass, plastic, ceramics, wood and leather can be used for production. But high-quality jewelry can consist of expensive crystals, gold or silver plated. Such costume jewelry may be indistinguishable in appearance from real jewelry, but cost much more.
In more complex leather jewelry, real patterns are created or figures are cut out.
Natural materials (wood, stones, shells)
Wonderful summer decorations can be made from shells coated with varnish and strung on a thread.
Ordinary pebbles can also be used to create jewelry. Most often, a stone of an interesting shape is braided with wire to create a pendant:
And wooden jewelry has long become a classic:

Decorating salads
Serving the dish is already half the battle. And even if you are preparing a simple and extraordinary salad, by decorating it correctly, you can depict the most unusual and original dish. The main thing is to stick to the theme of the holiday or event, for example, for the New Year you can decorate salads in the form of an animal whose year is coming, in the shape of a Christmas tree or a snowman. Or, for your birthday, create unique salads, giving them the shape of a festive cap, cake or gift wrapping. For children you can make cats, fish, and even a car. On March 8, make a salad in the form of a bouquet or just a flower: a tulip, rose or lilac.
To decorate a salad, even the simplest one, let’s take, for example, a vegetable one, you can use either the same vegetables, or take an original and tasty inclusion, in our case it will be cottage cheese, garlic and herbs. The dish may consist of bell peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes, but the decorations will be made from cottage cheese mixed with chopped herbs and garlic passed through a press. We form balls and place them around the perimeter of the plate, here you have a regular snack with a spicy touch.
A salad of pineapples and chicken, cheese and onions can be served directly in the fruit itself. Just take out the pulp, put it on the dish itself, and leave the peel - a boat - as a salad decoration. Place the salad directly into the pineapple trough and garnish with herbs on top.
Mimosa salad is simple and familiar to most. But how original and new it will look if you plant a sprig of white flowers on top. This decoration of salads is very unusual, since we will make snow-white flowers from a boiled egg, or rather the white and yolk. Cut the yolk into circles - this will be the middle, and for the flower itself, use the tops of the egg white, giving it sharp jagged corners. Place the parsley along with the branch, and build flowers around it, placing a round yolk on a white base.
Even an ordinary holiday Olivier can be beautifully transformed with the help of a fresh apple and cucumber, an egg and a Korean carrot. Here, as they say in the famous film: “Another thing that matters is ingenuity.” Therefore, all products must be combined in taste and theme with the main ingredients of the dish. We cut the apples into thin half-slices, and the cucumbers into rolls. We make a circle of cucumbers, folding them in half. We will make a swan from apples in the middle: simply fold the wings from half rings, and the neck from a separate piece of apple, which can be obtained by cutting the fruit in half and leaving the spine on it. Now, as in the previous salad, we will make flowers from eggs, only in the middle we put not the yolk, but several Korean carrots.
You can simply and easily make calla lilies from cheese, as a decoration for absolutely any salad. Just cut the cheese into thin squares, then roll the pieces like a glass for seeds, as they used to do from paper, put it on the salad, add the yellow center of the pepper, eggs, and lay out the green onion stalks. The centers can be made black - from olives, green - from olives.
You can also make flowers from plum tomatoes. Excellent tulips are obtained if the fruit itself is cut into four parts at the top, a few centimeters apart, placed on a salad, and stems and leaves are made from parsley or dill. But lilac can be depicted from processed cheese, simply grated on a coarse grater in the form of a cluster of these flowers, and adding a drop of food coloring.
