DIY J Crew Inspired Statement Necklace

First and foremost, I'd like to start by making excuses by saying how sorry I am for not being able to post for awhile!
I like sharing new things with people, new ideas, different outlooks, genius designs.
I saw this DIY at Owls Wake Up and thought it's pretty cool.

This one's J Crew's necklace.

This one is Beth's at Owls Wake Up.

And this is mine!

 There are lots of photos to instruct you to put it together at Owlswakeup. I tried to look for the exact size of the bead but couldn't so I played a bit with how small or tight I made my jump rings and pins.
Mine is at least a third smaller than hers but I like how it turned out. :-)
It took me not too long either once I got all my things together.
So, give it a go!

Snowflake Crystal Earring DIY

Now that the snow has started falling in England, I found the crystal snowflake I have been looking for since last December! How weird is that? 
And now that I have found it, I've decided to make something out of it before I misplace it again somewhere where it's going to hide from me all summer!

This is what I made:


Do you like it?



It's very simple to make.
I wire-wrapped the crystal and added it directly to my pre made earring hook.

What inspired you today?
