Boho Pendants
Most cheerful and bright they look and if, on the rare occasion, the sun does land on them, they shine beautifully. I threaded them together with a mish mash of beads from my collection. A motley selection of dismantled jewelry, leftover craft sets and a pot of wooden beads I actually purchased many moons ago. Making these pendants was a very happy task indeed. Threading beads with very little thought to selection and then a heart and back to beads. Super easy and satisfying. I can recommend it.
I used crochet thread for this little heart and added an extra round with some seed beads on the outside for an extra touch. I think it came out quite nicely and it makes me happy to see it sitting beside me while I crochet. I look forward to snipping so that I can pick it up and dangle the beads around. It also provides a handy place to stow the needle when not in use to, I find.
Happy little projects!

I made 2 hearts up to Round 3, then placed then together, back to back and used Round 4 to crochet them together. I also added an additional round (same as Round 4), replacing each 1ch with a bead.

OH MY WORD. You are so inspiring!!! I'd already bookmarked your boho hearts from the last post, but today I have no choice but to reblog the entire post. Love love love your style :-)
ReplyDeleteOkay, I give up - I can't figure out how to reblog to a wordpress blog from a blogspot one - maybe it can't be done :( I'll find a way to share this anyway - :-)
ReplyDeleteThose hearts are lovely - your heart on the sissors is a stroke of genius, I can't tell you how long I spend faffing around trying to find them in the bottom of my basket. I really need to make one, thank you so much for the pattern.

ReplyDeleteNot sure which is cuter.....the hearts or their name....dingle dangle! The granny hearts are sweet as well. Thanks for sharing.
