JEWELRY IDEAS

Viking Knit

This is a method of making beautiful chains for bracelets and necklaces with an appearance reminiscent of the chainmail used in Medieval armor.

See Viking Knit Gallery for examples of Viking Knit jewelry. You can read about the history of Viking Knit at Viking Knit History

Rose has acquired a number of Lazee Daizee Viking Knit tool kits which will supply you with the tools and instructions to make your own viking knit jewelry. The price is $49.95 including shipping. To order your kit, click Viking Knit Tool Kit

Or if you wish to purchase an already handmade viking knit bracelet or necklace, you can purchase it directly from the Viking Knit Gallery .

BEAD IDEAS

There all kinds of uses other than jewelry making for which you can use lampwork glass beads

For example:

Bead Clasps for Purses

Did you know that you can make a clasp for an envelope purse by sewing a loop of cord to the body of the purse and a glass focal bead to the flap of the purse? The purse is then closed by passing the bead through the loop.

You can find focal beads and heart shaped beads that can be used in making clasps at Bead Gallery
